The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 311 Two-pronged approach
Especially now that more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces are being shipped to Guangxi, if Wuzhou is stormed, the Dragon Guards will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties.

Zhu Linmei frowned and rubbed the handle of the spring wheel gun. It seemed that Ruo Ding Kuichu's main force had been entrenched in Wuzhou City, and the possibility of trying to get Zhu Youlang out was very slim.Lu Jin's move didn't seem to have achieved the desired effect.

He asked Xu Feihu again: "How is the situation with Lu Jin?"

The latter hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Returning to Your Highness, Lu Jin fled all the way south. Although he was chased by two thousand troops under Chen Ke, he has not yet fallen into the hands of thieves with the assistance of Jin Yiwei. He has arrived near Luchuan County the day before yesterday."

Zhu Linmi unfolded the map to check, Lu Chuan was near the southernmost tip of Guangxi, and this Lu Jinzu ran seven or eight hundred miles.

He pondered intently, and if he wanted to get Ding Kuichu's main force to leave Wuzhou, the solution still had to fall on Lu Jin, but his "attractiveness" had to be increased.

The one who can attract Ding Kuichu's attention the most right now is Zhu Youlang.

He turned to Xu Feihu and said, "Can Chen Ke's pursuers get some 'news from King Gui' and send them back to Wuzhou?"

Xu Feihu thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, there is a way, but if you want to confuse the real with the fake, I'm afraid you have to give up Lu Jin's chess."

This Lu Jin was originally a member of Ding Kuichu, and he once persuaded Mu Jing to join him in rebelling against the Ding family. If it hadn't been planned by Jin Yiwei, he might still be fighting for Ding Kuichu now.Zhu Linmi had nothing to sympathize with this person, so she nodded immediately, "If you have any good ideas, just tell me."

Xu Feihu immediately stepped forward and whispered.

Zhu Linmi nodded slightly when she heard the words, "This plan is feasible." He turned to look at Bobai County on the north side of Luchuan on the map, frowned and thought for a moment, then showed his face and said: "But this move alone is not enough. I While mobilizing the main force of the Dragon Guards to respond to you, we will definitely be able to catch Ding Kuichu, this old loach."

……

"Master Governor," Zhang Jinghuai, the governor of Guangxi Province, held more than a dozen official documents and reported before Ding Kuichu's case, "Youtian Dong Weiqian is responsible for Song Gu, Liuzhou's experience is Cheng Min, and Jiangzhou prefect Zhao Tianjia..."

Ding Kuichu interrupted him impatiently: "Is it still for urging?"

Zhang Jinghuai hurriedly replied: "Yes, there are 12 officials in total, all of whom persuaded King Gui to enter the throne of heaven."

"Understood." Ding Kuichu didn't even look at these documents, so he waved Zhang Jinghuai to leave, and added a sentence at the end, "If there is any similar persuasion form, I will temporarily store it in yours, and don't have to bring it to me every day...to His Royal Highness Guiwang Look."

Zhang Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bow and say, "I obey your orders."

When he left, Ding Kuichu rubbed his forehead and leaned heavily on the back of the chair.Or because the officials in Guidi saw that the reinforcements from Yunnan were approaching, local officials wrote letters every day in recent days, urging King Gui to ascend the throne.

Especially in the past, Zhai Shixu, the number two figure in Guangxi, who had strongly opposed him to support the establishment of the King of Gui, but was emptied by him, took the lead this time and expressed that he wanted the King of Gui to inherit the Datong immediately.

If it was placed ten days ago, Ding Kui would be overjoyed by this situation, and then he would use these "heartfelt sincerity" to persuade Zhu Youlang to come in.

But right now others don't know, he Ding Kuichu knows better than anyone else that King Gui is missing and the palace is completely empty.

As a result, the enthusiasm of the officials from all over the country became stronger, and the more anxious he was in his heart-the officials submitted their forms one after another to invite him in, expressing their confidence in his Ding Dutang's "big event", but at the same time it also showed that their patience was running out.

Everyone is holding the mentality of rising from the dragon, so they dare to follow him to confront the court. If this "dragon" does not appear for a long time, it is inevitable that people will not want to change.

Ding Kuichu didn't know that this wave of persuasion was initiated by Zhai Shisi who incited Guangxi officials behind the scenes according to Zhu Linming's secret letter.Its purpose is to roast Ding's on the fire.

Ding Kuichu let out a long breath, and couldn't help thinking that Zhu Youlang was burned to death by a fire in the palace, right?
No, it will never be like this, he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get this idea out of his mind, Sun Pengyun had searched the ruins of the palace several times, but found no trace that could be sure to be King Gui's body.Moreover, Lu Jin had brought Meiji into the palace for several days, and he fled out of the city overnight on the day of the fire, there must be something wrong with it!

It's just that Lu Jin can run better than a rabbit, and Chen Ke's two thousand soldiers pursued him. Although they found traces of him from time to time, they never caught him.

Ding Kuichu was feeling depressed, when he saw Chen Ke rushing in, he didn't even pay attention to the ceremony, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Lord Supervisor, Lu Jin has been found!"

Ding Kuichu jumped up from the chair when he heard the words, and grabbed him, "Where is he? Is there any clue to King Gui?"

Chen Ke shook his head in frustration and said, "His Royal Highness King Gui has not been found yet, and... Lu Jinren is dead."

"What? Dead?!" Ding Kuichu was shocked.

Chen Ke hurriedly reported the details again. It turned out that a banner officer under his command received a report from a farmer in Luchuan the day before yesterday, saying that a strange car and horse passed by the village entrance.The banner officer felt that his description might be Lu Jin, so he immediately led his troops to chase after him.

Naturally, Lu Jin fled in a hurry. When passing the Mima River, the wooden bridge on the river suddenly collapsed. Lu Jin fell into the river and drowned. His body was picked up that night.

Ding Kuichu suddenly felt dizzy, without Lu Jin, it was even more hopeless to find King Gui, and he staggered immediately.

Chen Ke hurriedly supported him, and suddenly remembered something, "Lord Governor, the eldest son of Lu Jin was in another car at that time, and happened to avoid the disaster of the broken bridge."

Ding Kuichu seemed to see hope, and immediately looked at Chen Ke, "What can he offer?"

"My lord, my subordinates have tortured me severely, but this son doesn't know anything about his father and King Gui." He paused, and then continued, "But according to what he said, Lu Jin has often been with a 30-year-old man recently. When meeting with a man from the same family, the word 'Bobai' was often used in his speech, and he even mentioned 'the master is well, please rest assured, Mr. Lu' and so on."

Ding Kuichu's eyes lit up, "This must be the person sent by King Gui to contact Lu Jin, and 'Master is well' must be King Gui! So, King Gui may have fled to Bobai?"

He immediately ordered Chen Ke loudly, "Order Bobai County Magistrate and Commander Wei to close the city gate immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave! You order 3000 more troops and rush to Bobai immediately. By the way, Lu Chuan also needs to search carefully." !"

"My subordinate obeys the order! Then I set off for Bobai."

Before Chen Ke walked out of the gate, a guard came with an urgent report and handed it to Ding Kuichu, "My lord, Zhaoqing informant."

Zhaoqing Mansion is the only way for Guangdong to enter Guangxi. Ding Kuichu hurriedly opened the secret report, and saw that it read: The main force of the imperial court, more than [-] people, is heading west.It's just that his tribe did not travel along the Xijiang River, but crossed the Moyang River in the south, and seemed to want to go to southern Guangxi.

Ding Kuichu is very familiar with the terrain of Guangdong and Guangxi. The Moyang River is just east of Bobai County, but it is thousands of miles away from Wuzhou...
