Chapter 352

Shang Kexi would not go to such a difficult place as the shipyard.The presence of Xu Erxian, one of his confidantes, was enough.

He lives in the post station in Seoul, after all, there are abundant supplies here.Going into the palace from time to time to blackmail the lord of North Korea, urging supplies and manpower, can receive a lot of benefits, which can be said to be a good job.

But to Shang Kexi, these things are not what he values ​​most.Therefore, even though he lived a comfortable life in Seoul, he was not very happy, and instead often drank in the station.

Huang Taiji and the others may not be very clear about rebuilding a navy, but Shang Kexi understands a little bit, knowing that building a navy is actually far more time-consuming and laborious than training an army.Not to mention, his naval opponent has already figured out that it is the famous pirate king Zheng Zhilong.To be honest, he has no confidence at all.

However, on Huang Taiji's side, he had to show usefulness, otherwise, he, King Zhishun, would definitely be gone.

"Wine, bring the wine!" Shang Kexi yelled when he found that the wine was gone.

Hearing the sound, the guard at the door hurried in for a look, then immediately bowed out and went to ask the North Koreans for wine.

After waiting for a while, it was Ban Zhifu, one of his confidantes, who came in with a jug of wine. With a slightly sad face, he first gave the jug to Shang Kexi, then sat down beside him, and said to Shang Kexi : "My lord, drinking too much will hurt your health!"

Hearing the sound, Shang Kexi suddenly showed a wry smile and said: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, why do you care so much?"

Seeing him like this, Ban Zhifu, who is Shang Kexi's confidant, naturally knew what the prince was worrying about, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, should I...or..."

"What else?" Seeing his hesitation, Shang Kexi shouted impatiently, "Is there anything you can't say? You are not drunk!"

"How about... let's go back to Daming?" Ban Zhifu finally said what was in his heart after hearing this, "Then the prince doesn't have to worry about it!"

Hearing this, Shang Kexi didn't even think about it, just took the wine glass in his hand and threw it at Ban Zhifu's body, then fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces, and cursed loudly: "Your Majesty, my lord! Your kindness is as heavy as a mountain, on the Qing side, you have to be named King Zhishun, yet you dare to let this prince break his promise..."

Being hit by the wine glass didn't hurt at all, but Ban Zhifu flinched, and then he heard Shang Kexi roaring there.

To be honest, in the past, Ban Zhifu also felt that Daqing was better.At least when they were in the Ming army, the generals of the various factions of the Dongjiang Army often intrigue, fight for power, and even launch mutinies and fight for power.Just the mutiny on Phi Island, at least twice.

In addition, the imperial court did not pay much attention to Dongjiang Town, and there were basically very few military salaries, food and grass, which made the Dongjiang Army look like an army of beggars.With all these things, in fact, during the Dongjiang Army period, there was really no day to live a good life.

However, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, the prince was originally only the commander of the navy in Dongjiang Town, but was immediately named King Zhishun by the Qing emperor, and his army was named the Tianyou Army.What made the prince even more grateful was that the emperor also helped the prince find all his former subordinates, relatives and friends, as long as they could be found in the Qing Dynasty, and made the prince's hometown Haizhou his fiefdom.

With all these things, comparing the encounters between Ming and Qing, it's no wonder the prince reacted in this way.

However, it is different now, I believe the prince knows this too, otherwise, how could he be drinking here all the time.

Dongjiang Town was rebuilt, and the governor of Baoding personally took over the town. The main force of the new Dongjiang Army was Qin Bing, and the navy was transferred from the south under the command of Zheng Zhilong.Looking at their excellent armaments and high morale, we know that the Dongjiang army must have received the full support of the Ming court, and it is impossible to have the chaos of the past.

"What's the matter, I'm dumb, you look down on my lord, don't you?" Shang Kexi scolded for a while, and seeing that he stopped talking, he raised his voice and scolded again, "What's wrong with Zheng Zhilong being a pirate king? Commander, even if I can't go out to sea to fight him, can I lead a boat to attack? I will deploy enough coastal defense guns and see how he comes to burn my boat again!"

Ban Zhifu came back to his senses after being scolded by him, and quickly nodded in agreement, not daring to talk back again, "It's because the subordinate was confused for a while, and the prince has already made up his mind, that's the best!"

Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, and Shang Kexi also scolded for a long time, he let out a little bit of anger, so he stopped scolding, pointed at him, and said to him: "Come, let's have a drink together!"

After hearing this, Ban Zhifu did as he said, and then said worriedly: "My lord, the navy is unable to compete with the Ming army for the time being. I think the Ming army will soon reoccupy Phi Island. If we know that we have occupied the North Korean shipyard If we don't, we must know that we are not reconciled, will they come to make trouble?"

Of course Shang Kexi was not drunk, so after hearing what he said, he told him: "You are right, you have to guard against this. You go to the palace immediately and ask them to mobilize heavy artillery and guard the shipyard .”

Ban Zhifu promised, just stood up, but remembered something again, and said to Shang Kexi: "My lord, what if the Ming army attacks by land? With our small number of troops, we are definitely not the opponent of the Ming army. Soldiers, but they are unreliable!"

Hearing this, Shang Kexi also had a headache.

The Ming army has mastered the sea route, and there are so many ships, they can land from wherever they want, and there is no way to defend against it.This matter is very tricky.

"Don't worry too much about it, just these North Koreans, if they don't dare to betray the Qing Dynasty, let them also send troops to help defend, at least their Musketeers are still somewhat useful." Shang Kexi was a little irritable, because he found himself facing The dilemma is often unsolvable, so I raised my voice a little, scolded Ban Zhifu, and asked him to go to work quickly, "Why are you still standing there, do you want to solve everything in one go? Take your time." Anyway, it is impossible for the Ming army to come over so soon!"

"My lord is right!" Ban Zhifu agreed after hearing this, and left to go to the palace.

But he knew in his heart that the Ming army would come over sooner or later.

After Ban Zhifu left, Shang Kexi sat there and didn't continue to drink immediately, but was in a daze. Obviously, he also understood the magnitude of the predicament in his heart, and choosing to escape was not the answer.

However, I can't think of a good way to do it, what should I do?
After a while, he suddenly picked up the wine jug and drank "gulu gulu", as if he wanted to get himself drunk so that he could stop thinking about those troublesome things.

But at this moment, Ban Zhifu returned in a hurry, with panic on his face, and he didn't care what Shang Kexi was doing, so he hurriedly reported: "My lord, it's not good, the Koreans seem to be attacking us! "

"What?" Shang Kexi stopped drinking when he heard it, and immediately stared at Ban Zhifu with a surprised face and confirmed, "Those cowards of his dare to attack me?"

"Yes, my lord!" Ban Zhifu hurriedly nodded and said, "The North Korean officials in the station have already fled, and a large number of North Korean troops are gathering outside, and the surrounding area of ​​the station has been completely sealed!"

Shang Kexi was startled at this moment, stood up immediately, hit the bowl and chopsticks on the table with a loud noise, and ordered Ban Zhifu: "Call the brothers, copy guys immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he strode out to see for himself.

After Ban Zhifu followed, Shang Kexi slowed down again, and suddenly stopped at the door of the room, turned around and asked Ban Zhifu, "Did you see any traces of the Ming army?"

Hearing this, Ban Zhifu immediately understood that the prince thought that the Ming army had already killed him.Only the North Korean side had the guts to come and surround the station.Otherwise, North Korea should not have the courage to dare to rebel.

In the beginning, Ban Zhifu actually thought so too, so he carefully observed the movement outside and found no trace of the Ming army, so he answered Shang Kexi truthfully.

When Shang Kexi heard this, his brows frowned: "Without the support of the Ming army, where did that guy Li Yu get the courage? Could it be... Could it be that my lord pushed me a little too fast? It's impossible! Just that coward , so what if you are in a hurry? He didn't kill him, so he can't rebel?"

Unable to figure it out, Shang Kexi didn't think about it anymore, and just went out to see for himself.

As long as there is no support from the Ming army, he will not believe that North Korea really dares to rebel?Maybe they are using this kind of trick to negotiate terms, and I don't want him to push him too far!

In the post station, there are only about 30 Shang Kexi people in total, and the others are all at the shipyard.But there were so few people, they heard that it was only Koreans making trouble outside, so none of them were afraid, and they all followed Shang Kexi out.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard a shout from outside: "The traitor of the Ming Dynasty, Shang Kexi, come out and surrender quickly, so as not to die, otherwise, all of them will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, Shang Kexi immediately became angry. North Korea, a country with three surnames, who surrendered and surrendered, dared to call himself a traitor to Ming Dynasty!

It can be said that what Shang Kexi dislikes the most is being uncovered about his past.Because, in his past, he should have had a blood feud with Daqing, but in the end he turned to his enemy and worked for his enemy.This kind of thing is naturally a hundred thousand disgraceful.Who dares to mention this, he will never spare anyone!
Therefore, he immediately ordered to open the door to the left and right. Under the protection of his personal guards, he strode out of the door and shouted sharply: "This king is here. Whoever dares to rebel is not afraid of bearing the anger of the Qing emperor?"

After speaking, he also saw the situation outside clearly.

Sure enough, just as Ban Zhifu said, there were all Korean soldiers outside, and the ones at the front were teams of musketeers, lined up in many teams, aiming at the gate, with matchlocks lit, ready to fire at any time state.

Seeing this situation, Shang Kexi, who originally wanted to go out, subconsciously stood still, looked under the handsome flag of the other party, and recognized that it was Cui Mingji, the leader of North Korea, and one... one...

Shang Kexi thought his eyes were blurred, so he blinked and looked carefully, but there was still no change. The gray-bearded man standing next to Cui Mingji turned out to be Jin Sangxian who was escorted to Liaodong by Ying Erdai!Why is he here?

Seeing that Shang Kexi was stupid there, Jin Shangxian immediately guessed the reason, and immediately laughed, feeling very comfortable, and said loudly to Shang Kexi: "Why, is it a surprise that the old man appeared here, isn't it a surprise? ?”

"You...why are you here?" Shang Kexi immediately sensed that something was not good about the situation. He stuttered a bit and immediately asked, "Where is Mr. Dragon Bone? He can't let you back!"

"Of course, since he came to arrest the old man, how could he let the old man back!" Jin Shangxian said with a smile, "The old man is not a rebel general like you who has forgotten his ancestors!"

Among the people present, only Jin Shangxian has the qualifications to scold him like this, including Cui Mingji, it is not good to scold him like this, even if he actually has curves to save the country in his heart.

Shang Kexi's face was ugly when he was scolded, but in order to know the truth of the matter, he held back and listened to Jin Shangxian continue to say: "It was the Governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Lu, who led the heavenly soldiers to save the old man. I also surrendered, and now I have been escorted to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, Shang Kexi and the others were all stunned.

To be honest, they didn't want to believe this at all.Therefore, first, it is impossible for the Ming army to come over so soon!Second, and more importantly, can the Ming army defeat Yingerdai?And Erde will surrender?This is absolutely impossible!You know, Ying'erdai is Gushan Ezhen of Zhengbai Banner!

However, another fact is that if this matter is not true, then where do these North Koreans have the courage to do what they are doing now?How could this North Korean main fighter who was taken away by Ying Erdai appear here?

As they were thinking about it, Jin Shangxian shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, under the order of Lord Lu, the Governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty, Shang Kexi, the rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, was arrested and escorted to Pidao. Surrender obediently yourself!"

Nothing made Kim Sang-heon feel more high-spirited than now. Thinking about it, Jianlu had been pressing on North Korea's head to shit and pee. Now, with Daming's support, his waist is finally straight.

After he said this, Shang Kexi came to his senses, knowing that North Korea would definitely turn to Ming again, and there was no room for change, so he turned around and fled into the post without saying a word.

Lin Qingye, who was in command of the battle, had been watching them all the time, and when he saw that they were about to flee again, he immediately ordered to shoot.

"Blah blah blah..."

Gunshots rang out, and after the gunpowder smoke cleared, there were five or six fake tartars who had been beaten into sieves lying on the side of the door, but Shang Xi escaped into the post by him.

"attack!"

The battle to attack the post station began immediately. This time, Lin Qingye laid out several layers of siege, and each attack did not affect the outer encirclement. Waves of troops were sent in. Even if it was exhausted, Shang Kexi could be exhausted to death.

 After I started to have a fever last Saturday, I lost my appetite and sweated profusely. Then I just satiated my hunger with corn. It was only yesterday that I suddenly realized that I seemed to be short of salt, and I felt weak all the time.The inspection was completed yesterday afternoon. I will go to work today and travel to Shanghai Waigaoqiao tomorrow. There are many things...
