Chapter 174 Let's Escape Together!
As soon as Shang Zhijie said that, the people in the main hall of Prince Pingnan’s Mansion were panicked!
Liuxi River is a tributary of the Pearl River. Zhu Hetian's army can enter Liuxi River by boarding the ship at the Shenmiao Wharf in the South China Sea, then follow the Pearl River to the west of Guangzhou City, then turn into the Pearl River West Waterway, and go upstream to enter Liuxi River.
Once Zhu San Taisun’s army enters the Pearl River’s western waterway and Liuxi River, Guangzhou City will be basically surrounded!
At that time, everyone will have to wait in Guangzhou to be loyal and brave!
"Criminal, what should I do?" Xue Zhang was also anxious. He didn't want to fall into Zhu Heying's hands. "Can Guangzhou City still be defended? Where should we go to bring reinforcements?"
In the hall, everyone's eyes turned to Shang Zhixin, waiting for him to make a decision.
Although this guy has committed a death sentence, the ones he can fight in Guangzhou now are his direct subordinates, the lords and the lords and lords, the total of four or five hundred people, these people are tied together by the monk's letter.
Shang Zhixin looked calm and said coldly: "What's the big deal? Is it better to walk thirty-six strategies? Going from the South China Sea Temple to Liuxi River is a countercurrent. If the thief's boat is not moving quickly, we can walk immediately!"
"Brother, where are you going?" One of Shang Zhixin's brothers asked immediately.
Shang Zhixin said: "There are now three places, one is to go north to Shaozhou; the other is to go west to Zhaoqing Prefecture; the third is to go west to Sanshui County, and then turn south to Xinhui County."
"Brother, where are you going?" asked "Shang Zhimou" again.
Shang Zhixin sighed: "Where else can I go? When I submit a confession, I am the one who is waiting for the crime. As soon as the emperor's edict arrives, I go to Beijing to ask for death. When it is time to go to Caishikou, Caishikou, and Ningguta, I am Shangzhixin deserves it! So I went to Xinhui County to wait for the crime to die!"
Go to Xinhui County?
The officials present and the "Shang Zhimou" didn't know what to say when they heard this. Xinhui is a county under Guangzhou Prefecture, surrounded by Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinning, and Heshan in Zhaoqing Prefecture. Among them, Xiangshan was completely controlled by Zhu San Taisun. Xinning was the county in which the Wencun protested against the Qing Dynasty. During the attack on Wencun by the Qing soldiers, Shang Kexi killed no one. Later, he moved the boundary and banned the sea. After the relocation was 50 miles, the people in Xinning must have hated the Shang family to death, so the Ming army would surrender as soon as they arrived.
As for Heshan County, it was also a very active area for anti-Qing and restoring Ming elements. When the Qing Dynasty entered Guangdong, Wu Xian, a powerful man from Heshan County, donated his family's wealth and recruited rural soldiers to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was also appointed as the Minister of War by Emperor Yongli. Later, Wu Xian failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing soldiers naturally would not let Heshan people go. Heshan was covered with mountains and forests, and some places could allow Wu Xian's remnants to hide. When Zhu San's army arrived, wouldn't they respond?
So Xinhui will be an isolated city by then. How would Emperor Kangxi arrest Shang Zhixin and behead him in Caishikou and exil to Ningguta?
It seems that Kangxi can only send people to Xinhui to capture Shang Zhixin if he sends the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to defeat Zhu San Grandson and Zhu San Prince and recover Guangzhou Prefecture!
Is this a bit difficult?
Facing the doubtful eyes of everyone, Shang Zhixin also said to Xue Zhang with confidence: "Please tell the emperor that Xinhui is the only county in Guangdong that is loyal to the Qing Dynasty. No matter what, the slave will keep this loyal land for the Qing Dynasty. After the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers arrive in Guangdong and completely wipe out Zhu San and Wu Sangui, the slave will naturally go to Beijing to lead the death."
I don’t know if Emperor Kangxi would be so angry that he vomited blood when he heard this? Xue Zhang thought to himself: “This Shang Zhixin is the master who stabs the hornet’s nest! He stabbed a huge hornet’s nest and hid in Xinhui, and let the emperor be stinged by the three hornets, Wu Sangui, Zhu Sansun.”
But Shang Zhixin didn't care about so many at this time. He had already apologized and was waiting to be arrested on the land of the Qing Dynasty. If Kangxi couldn't arrest him, he couldn't blame him, right? As a criminal, would he still have to help the court arrest him?
Shang Zhixin looked around and found that everyone had nothing to say, so he coughed, "It's getting late, it's all gone, Guangzhou can't be defended, you can each escape! Anyone who wants to follow me to Xinhui, please stay and follow!"
Go to Xinhui? Isn’t this seeking death? Shang Zhixin committed a crime of death and went to Xinhui to survive and avoid death. Others did not commit a crime of death. Why follow him to Xinhui?
So the officials and "Shang Zhimou" in the hall took their leave one after another, went back to pack up their things, took their families with them, and prepared to run out of the city.
However, there were still a few people who did not run away. Li Tianzhi, the chief of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and Wang Guodong, did not leave.
Shang Zhixin glanced at the two of them: "Shi Shi Li, General Wang, do you want to follow me, the one who is willing to be guilty?"
Li Tianzhi sighed and smiled bitterly: "I am the chief minister of the palace. Now the old prince is gone. You are the new prince. Wherever you go, where will you go."
Wang Guodong directly called Shang Zhixin the prince, "Prince, I have always been yours. Wherever you go, I will follow you!"
Shang Zhixin nodded and thought to himself: "These two are quite clever. They both saw that the road to Zhaoqing and Shaozhou was difficult to walk because most people would go to those two places, and Zhu San Taisun's soldiers would definitely chase them in those two directions.
Moreover, there was no good result when they escaped. The emperor had issued an imperial edict to ask Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling to bring troops to Guangdong.
Now those who go to Zhaoqing and Shaozhou will probably be forced by Kong Sizhen, the stinky girl, to fight with Zhu San and his son to die sooner or later. It is better to hide from Xinhui and live for a while."
Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin laughed dryly: "Then go and prepare to remember, don't bring too much luggage and money, just run out, money is useless!"
He paused and said, "After you gather people, go to the four-way fortress to gather, and let's set off from there."
Also, Li Changshi and General Wang, you will send someone to tell my brothers that there are millions of taels of silver that the old man has harvested in the warehouse of the royal palace. I don’t need it anymore. They still need it. Let them come and get it quickly, as much as they can get it!"
Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong were both shocked when they heard this and said to himself: "This Shang Zhixin is really cruel. He actually made his brothers run away with the dead silver at this time."
However, the two of them agreed and then went to arrange for the escape.
After playing, Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong left, Shang Zhixin called his concubine, master and housekeeper again, arranged the family's escape, and asked his master to draft a memorial to confess and apologize, and "bite" Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong to the core. Then he copied it himself, and then sent someone to send the deadly memorial to the Admiral Xue Zhang.
After all this, he asked someone to open the door of the royal treasury. Without waiting for the brothers to come to get the money, he took his family with him. Under the escort of the direct subordinate Zuoling and Qigu Baoyi, he went to the Sifang Fort first. Shang Zhixin's directly under Zuoling and Qigu Baoyi had already packed up his luggage and moved into the Sifang Fort!
Shortly after Shang Zhixin arrived, Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong also drove over with two or three thousand green camp soldiers who helped the elderly and the young.
Seeing that these people were all here, Shang Zhixin led them out of the four-way fortress without any delay and disappeared into the vast fields northwest of Guangzhou City.
As soon as Shang Zhixin left, he fell into the biggest panic!
Most of the people in Guangzhou nowadays are related to the characters "qi" and "official"!
In other words, they were the accomplices of Shang Kexi, the "overlossible" Qing Zhongnu. If the Guangdong soldiers of Prince Zhu San were arrested, what other way could they have?
So you have to run away!
If you don’t run away, you will be dead!
But can you survive after running? It is not easy to walk from Guangzhou to Zhaoqing, and nearly 300 miles to Shaozhou. There are several rivers blocking the road alone, and there are many gratifying enemies along the way, waiting to take revenge!
But this is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is the god!
When Guangzhou was in chaos and everyone was scrambling to escape from this Jedi, the sky was covered with dark clouds again, and the typhoon that had disappeared before also roared and tranquility as before, but the eyes of the wind hit Guangzhou. Now there is still a typhoon and rainstorm in the second half.
