"What? You let an old man like Ding Kuichu run away?" Zhu Hengjia asked bitterly.
Hate it! How can you not hate it? The most hateful thing in the world is to accept money and do nothing. Ding Kuichu, a man, took so much money from me, and ended up calling himself a prisoner of the country. Instead of helping, he sent troops to attack him. It's really too much No sense of moral integrity! So shameless!
"Reporting to the Supervisor, the last general and others searched inside and outside Baiyun Mountain, but no trace of Ding was found."
All the generals knew that Zhu Hengjia hated Ding Kuichu deeply, and they all called him a thief.
"Hmph! This time I laid a dragnet, but I didn't expect to let this old thief escape. I think this old thief is very lucky. Next time I catch him, I will have to chop him up."
The world is always full of comedy.
Suddenly, Sun Gui, a guerrilla from Guijiang Water Camp, reported that he had captured Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and several of his personal guards.
When arranging the ambush, Sun Gui saw that the other generals had made arrangements, but his own troops had not received military orders, so he took the initiative to invite troops to fight.
Zhu Hengjia saw that Sun Gui's troops only had 500 regular soldiers, and the rest were sailors and fishermen, so it was of little significance to directly participate in the war. He couldn't bear to let Sun Gui's desire to perform meritorious service go cold, so he ordered Sun Gui to patrol the waterway from Guijiang to Xijiang.
Sun Guili was so eager that when he arrived at the mouth of the Xijiang River, he led 400 sailors ashore to ambush him, and unexpectedly captured Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
It turned out that Ding Kuichu was a cunning old man. When he saw the Jing army ambush, he immediately abandoned the army without even informing Su Pin, Ma Jixiang and others. He directly surrounded the Jing army and fled north to the reeds on the bank of the Gui River.< /p>
Hungry and hungry, Ding Kuichu and others finally walked along the reeds to the mouth of the Xijiang River, thinking they were out of danger. But as soon as they walked out of the reeds, they were caught by Sun Gui.
Zhu Hengjia also had to admire Ding Kuichu's shamelessness and determination, actually being able to leave the army and escape alone.
"You are truly a lucky general!" Zhu Hengjia praised Sun Gui.
"Come here, bring Ding Kuichu, Yan Zungao, Ma Jixiang and others up."
In the large tent of the Central Army of the Jing Army, Ding Kuichu, Yan Zungao, and Ma Jixiang were escorted in dejectedly.
Zhu Hengjia sat on the dragon chair and took a sip of Wuzhou's famous tea - Yufeng Shiya.
Hmm, not bad, elegant and mellow, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
He glanced at Ding Kuichu darkly, "Unexpectedly, I met an old friend again in Wuzhou. How is Mr. Ding Ge?"
Ding Kuichu had just accepted the order of Emperor Longwu's cabinet bachelor. Zhu Hengjia deliberately called him the cabinet minister. This was not a compliment, but a joke on him.
Before a cat eats a mouse, it has to have some fun first. This old thief defrauded me of so much money, and it was too cheap to cut him off with a knife.
Unexpectedly, Ding Kui, a distinguished bachelor of Chu, the governor of two provinces, and an important official of the imperial court, knelt down on the ground regardless of his decency, cried bitterly, and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
At one moment, he said that he deserved death, and he actually dared to go against the wise and powerful Jingguo. He was really like a mantis, and he was overestimating his own capabilities. At the other moment, he said that he was shameless and had failed the Jingguo's love. I was sorry for myself, my family, and the Ming Dynasty billions.
Thousands of people; a moment later he said that he was obsessed with things and was bewitched by villains, and now he regretted it. As long as the Jingjian State spared his old life, he would be willing to tie a knot with grass in his next life and work hard to serve the Jingjian State.
.
The general around Ding Kuichu, Yan Zungao, couldn't stand it anymore and quietly advised him to save some dignity for the court.
He didn't care and just kept begging for his life.
"Haha. This old thief! Do you think that if you say a few nice words, beg for mercy, and pretend to be a coward, Gu will spare his life?"
Zhu Hengjia stared at Ding Kuichu darkly, as if staring at a dead person.
"I heard that the Dingge tribe has a good way of making money and is as rich as the country. People in Zhaoqing say that there was the Governor's Mansion first and then Zhaoqing City?" Zhu Hengjia said jokingly.
"Eh? What does Jing Jianguo mean by this? By the way, he must be jealous that I stole his one hundred thousand taels of silver but didn't do anything for him." Ding Kuichu looked at his words and suddenly realized.
"I am willing to donate five hundred thousand taels of silver. No, I am willing to destroy my family to relieve the difficulties, and donate all my family property to serve as military pay for His Highness."
"Oh. Don't you feel bad when the cabinet donates all the family wealth to the orphan?"
"His Royal Highness obeyed the people's will and punished the people. He went north to Qinwang and restored the Central Plains. This is a feat that has never been seen in the ages! It is a great honor for me to be able to participate in it! For the sake of all the people in the world, I will eat big cakes and drink porridge happily."
, Ding Kuichu is righteous and has the face of a loyal minister.
"This old thief wants to deceive me again! Your family property is all in Zhaoqing, where can I go?" Zhu Hengjia's face became more and more gloomy.
"Huh! Huh!"
Zhu Hengjia sneered again and again.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ding Kuichu suddenly knelt forward and shouted: "I would like to write a letter on behalf of the prison country to summon Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Nanxiong, Huizhou, Chaozhou, Zhaoqing, Gaozhou, Leizhou, Lianzhou and Qiongzhou to surrender."
”.
"Huh? Can the Ministry of Cabinet make these ten mansions submit to Gu?"
"I have been governor of Guangdong and Guangdong for many years, and most of these ten state garrison generals are my old subordinates. I am confident that I can recruit them to surrender."
"Hahaha! Don't be surprised, Minister. I was joking with the Minister just now. Here comes someone! Quickly untie the Minister and the two generals. I want to give them a banquet in the big tent." Zhu Hengjia smiled like a flower.

After the Battle of Baiyun Mountain, Ding Kuichu, Yan Zuggao, and Ma Jixiang all surrendered to Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Hengjia ordered Ding Kuichu to surrender all the prefectures in Guangdong, including Zhaoqing Prefecture, Lianzhou Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture and Luoding Prefecture.
Zhu Hengjia made general Tong Yizhen the general of Lianzhou and guarded Lianzhou; he made general Chen Ke the general of Gaozhou and guarded Gaozhou; he made general Wang Xing the guerrilla guard of Qiongzhou; Zhaoqing was the gateway to Guangxi, and Zhu Hengjia made General Yan Tianfeng of Huaiyuan the chief.
Zhaoqing's general army guarded the city of Zhaoqing. He promoted guerrilla general Yan Zungao to Zhaoqing's deputy general and stationed in Enping County under the jurisdiction of Zhaoqing.
Zhu Hengjia also greatly rewarded the meritorious officials, and made Yan Tianfeng the Pingdong Bo; Shi Qiwen the Pingnan Bo; Fan Youxian the Dingbei Bo; Yang Wu and Sun Gui the council generals; Zhu Hengkuo the auxiliary general; Yang Fuchen the guerrilla; and Yang Huai the relative.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard Camp, he also selected veterans who were good at fighting to expand the Guard Camp; the other generals were all given rewards. Ding Kui was also given the post of Tai Chuan of Chu in order to repay his great contribution in recruiting and surrendering.
After Yan Zungao surrendered, Zhu Hengjia was very kind to him and had great trust in him. At that time, the four counties of Deqing, Fengkai, Huaiji, and Enping in Zhaoqing Prefecture did not surrender, so Zhu Hengjia sent Yan Zungao to attack him. Some people who were jealous of Yan Zungao said that Yan Zunhao was
I am afraid that I will never return to the rank of general. Zhu Hengjia said, it is impossible, Yan Zunnagao will never betray me. Yan Zunnagao quickly pacified these four counties, and Zhu Hengjia promoted him to deputy general of Zhaoqing.
"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": He surrendered according to the imperial edict, and the emperor treated him very well. At that time, the four counties of Deqing, Fengkai, Huaiji, and Enping were not yet settled, so the emperor ordered the imperial edict to surrender. It may be said that the general who surrendered according to the imperial edict may be repeated.
.The Emperor said, "I will live up to my command by following the imperial edict." In ten days, I followed the imperial edict and leveled four counties, and was promoted to deputy general.
