"Good thing?" Zhu Youlang was excited and asked hurriedly: "What good thing?"

"I took back Xinhui City!" Guo Zhiqi looked excited when he said this.

"Oh, is the Xinhui you mentioned the Xinhui that King Jin sieges for several months last year but did not go down?" Zhu Youlang's eyes shimmered a little.

Guo Zhiqi focused heavily: "It's the Xinhui City!"

"I heard that Xinhui City was built extremely strongly by the Qing army. The last year, the King of Jin used all his skills and could not seize it. Finally, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but he didn't know how to recover it by you? Guo Qing, tell me quickly, I want to know!"

Yongli was impatient to know how Guo Zhiqi and the others recovered Xinhui City that even King Li Dingguo could not defeat.

Guo Zhiqi shook his head and said, "Emperor, Xinhui City was not taken back by the ministers and Governor General Lian, but by the Taiping Army from the Qing army."

"Taiping Army?"

Yongli was stunned. He didn't know which army the Taiping Army was, so he immediately let it go. Guo Zhiqi has been recruiting volunteers in Guangdong in recent years to resist the Qing Dynasty. I think this Taiping Army is a righteous army he recruited.

"How did the Taiping Army seize the Xinhui from the Qing army, Guo Qing will explain it in detail to me."

Seeing that the emperor was so anxious to know what happened, Guo Zhiqi immediately captured the Taiping Army and held on to the city for several months. Finally, he finally repelled the army led by Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, Qing Dynasty, and told Emperor Yongli in detail.

During the narrative process, Guo Zhiqi did not hide the contributions of Zhou Shixiang, the leader of the Taiping Army. Finally, he told Emperor Yongli that Zhou Shi was staying in the city and asked Emperor Yongli to tell the story of Zhou Shi staying together. He learned that General Linghai Chen Qice also led his troops to participate in the Xinhui Campaign, and now he is also defending the Xinhui with General Zhenguo Zhu Tong and others. In the twelfth month of last year, Emperor Yongli was very pleased. Since the Jin King Li Dingguo fell from his name, this is the first time that the Ming army has recovered lost territory and successfully defended it. He cannot help but feel happy and gratified.

Guo Zhiqi also explained the current situation of the Ming army in various parts of Guangdong, and reported to Emperor Yongli one by one the efforts he and the Guangdong Governor Lian Chengbi in recent years.

Zhu Youlang nodded uncontrollably and praised Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi for their hard work and great contributions.

"Although our army was defeated in the Battle of Sanjiangkou, it also restrained the two Guangdong vassals. As long as the Xinhui is in my hands one day, the Qing army in Guangdong cannot advance westward with all its might. This will ensure that the southwest is not threatened by the Qing army in Guangdong. In addition, after I learned that the King of Jin escorted the emperor to Kunming, I was always worried about the safety of the sage. After discussing with the Governor of the Company, I came to Kunming. On the one hand, I came to report to the emperor the details of Guangdong, and on the other hand, I also wanted to ask the King of Jin to send troops eastward again and recover Guangdong and Guangxi in one fell swoop!"

"this..."

Zhu Youlang was a little lost. When he and King Li Dingguo of Jin decided to fight in the east or enter Sichuan, he didn't know that Xinhui City had been recaptured by the Ming army. If he knew, he would definitely give up entering Sichuan and move east to advance. Even if Sun Kewang's army came, even if King Jin needed to lead troops in the east, he would still support it.

Xinhui is of great importance. King Li Dingguo of Jin mentioned the hatred in Xinhui several times in front of Zhu Youlang. Every time he mentioned it, he was extremely regretful. King Zeng Dao of Jin could win Xinhui in one fell swoop that day. At present, the whole province of Guangdong and Guangxi will be all owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the situation in Guangxi will not collapse. With the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi and Yunnan buffer, Sun Kewang can show off his momentary power, but he will not be able to show off his life. At the critical moment, the Holy Lord can move to Guangzhou, with the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi in hand, and with the echo of Fujian and Zhejiang, Sun Kewang is not worth worrying, and Zhongxing has great potential for the Northern Expedition!

It’s a pity that the news came too late, just two or three months later!

Zhu Youlang was very upset, but he could not wipe out Guo Zhiqi's earnest heart, so he turned around and said, "Listen to Guo Qing, that scholar Zhou is really a strange person, both literary and martial. I wish I could go to Guangdong to see this scholar now!"

Guo Zhiqi did not notice the annoyance in Emperor Yongli's heart and said with a smile: "After Zhou Shixiang gave Xinhuicheng to General Linghai, Chen Qice, he led his troops to Xiangshan County. Before the minister came, the governor appointed him as the general of Chaozhou as the registered commander."

When he heard that Lianchengbi had only given Qi Xiucai a registered Chaozhou general, Zhu Youlang was unhappy and complained: "Such great achievements makes even Chengbi too small. Why do you need to register your name? He is not afraid of being a righteous man."

Guo Zhiqi reminded him: "Emperor, the general is not something that the governor can decide. Even the reason why the emperor only grants him a title is for the majesty of the court."

After being reminded by Guo Zhiqi, Zhu Youlang remembered that he had to be the emperor to issue an order, otherwise everyone in the country could be the general, so what would he do?

"Look at me so happy that I forgot about this. I will ask the cabinet to draft an order tomorrow morning and ask the Ministry of War to send someone to Xiangshan. Since Zhou Shixiang led the Taiping Army to Xiangshan, Guangzhou Prefecture, he will be the general of Guangzhou. Well, he must be given a real mission to show that I have high expectations for the soldiers who have made meritorious."

"The emperor is wise!"

After hearing this, Guo Zhiqi's worries were relieved. At the moment of national crisis, the imperial court should be rewarded with meritorious people. Just as he was about to ask about the situation in Guizhou, Wang Kun rushed in with a bitter expression.

"Long live the news from Guangdong has been found."

"Take it to me."

Yongli reached out to take the Lianchengbi’s memorial from Wang Kun. The fruit on it was written without any errors from what Guo Zhiqi said. Zhu Youlang was completely relieved at first, but he couldn’t help but feel a little angry. He slapped the table and said angrily: “What should Ma Jixiang do? How dare he suppress the local governor’s memorial?”

Wang Kun said in a little scared: "Maybe the Holy Lord has just moved to Kunming, and the cabinet is newly built, and I have forgotten this matter."

It was fine if Wang Kun didn't say anything, but when Zhu Youlang said this, he was even more furious and shouted: "Shut up, I know you have a close relationship with Ma Jixiang, but you can defend such a big thing!"

"I don't dare!" Wang Kun was so scared that he knelt on the ground.

Zhu Youlang was still angry, "From tomorrow, all the reports sent by the Tongzhengsi must be sent to me first to read and then handed over the cabinet ticket. If Ma Jixiang asks, he will say that it was me. If he objected, he will ask him to come to see me!" After that, he glared at Wang Kun again: "You are my man, not him Ma Jixiang's man!"

Wang Kun almost fainted by these words, and lay there and didn't dare to move.

Guo Zhiqi said with emotion: "God is moved by the emperor's diligence and will definitely respond to God and man. We will protect the emperor as the king of revival and restore the country and country." But he sighed in his heart. The emperor really favored Ma Jixiang too much. He even gave up his crimes such as privately detaining local governors and governors' literature and newspapers and even let go of it without any treatment. How does this mean to be a court official?

Guo Zhiqi wanted to report Ma Jixiang to a copy of this matter, but considering that he had impeached the chief minister in front of the emperor as soon as he arrived in Kunming. It might be a bit inappropriate, so he gave up this idea and planned to tell him about this matter when he met King Li Dingguo tomorrow, hoping that the King of Jin could persuade the emperor to deal with Ma Jixiang.

As for the princess's affairs, Guo Zhiqi was still worried and did not know whether to tell Emperor Yongli whether he should be the one who told Emperor Yongli that after all, this princess was not only the niece of Emperor Longwu who died for the country, but also the daughter of Zhu Yuyou, the King of Tang who was fighting for the throne with Emperor Yongli. She was really sensitive in her identity and involved in the dispute between the emperor. If it was not handled well, it would probably cause great trouble to Emperor Yongli. Therefore, he did not dare to speak easily and stood there in a very embarrassing manner.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Youlang knew that he had something to do, so he said, "What else does Guo Qing have to do? But it's okay."

Guo Zhiqi hesitated for a moment and finally said, "This time I came to Kunming, I was rescued by a woman on the way. According to the woman himself, she was Princess Changle, the daughter of the fake Emperor Shaowu, Zhu Shuyi."
