At the Jingfan camp in Baiyun Mountain, Wuzhou, the guest of honor at the royal palace sent off another group of squires and elders who had worked in the army for Zhu Hengjia.
At first, Zhu Hengjia was very happy, thinking that his destiny had been fulfilled, and the people welcomed him with pots of food and rewards, but when he asked, they all came to plead for Qu Shichun and beg for his release.
"Today is already the seventh batch, right?"
"Report to the Supervisor, this is the ninth batch."
"Hey! It's a pity that Qu Qitian can't be used by people like this!"
Qu Shichu was an honest and upright official. He was highly respected in Guangxi and had an excellent official reputation. From the Jin gentry to the Han barbarians and common people, there were countless people who benefited from Qu Shichu.
When he first captured Qu Shichun, Zhu Hengjia personally persuaded him to surrender, but he was scolded by Qu Shichun, saying that you, a despicable little king, dare to covet the throne. You are really a wolf's ambition, an arrogant arrogant, a small earthworm shaking a tree, and overestimating your own capabilities.
Zhu Hengjia was so angry that he asked his guards to drag him out of the camp and beat him.
As a result, rumors suddenly spread.
There are rumors everywhere in Wuzhou that Governor Qu has offended King Jingjiang and will be beheaded by King Jingjiang.
The common people carried pork and fine wine one after another to intercede for Qu Shichu in the name of rewarding the army.
Zhu Hengjia was forced to keep explaining: "I didn't mean to kill Qu Shichu, I really didn't."
He can't kill, but he can't let go. Zhu Hengjia really hoped that Qu Shichun would die on hunger strike. Doesn't it mean that loyal ministers are not afraid of death?
But Qu Shichun had no intention of going on a hunger strike at all. He was given meat and wine, and he often complained that the food was not good enough and asked for another chicken for dinner.
Zhu Hengjia had no choice but to order Tao Cheng, the governor of Jinyiwei Town, to take Qu Shichun to Liuxianju in Guilin for recuperation.
On the way to Guilin, Tao Cheng repeatedly persuaded Qu Shichun to surrender.
"Qu Futai, you see, I was just a low-ranking official. Since I joined our king, I have been promoted from the fourth rank to the imperial guard. If you are demoted, my official position will definitely not be small."
"Bah, how can a common man know loyalty!"
"Qu Futai, the magistrate of Wuzhou, Tongzhi, and all general judges have been demoted."
"Bah, how can a common man know loyalty!"
"Qufutai??"
"Bah??"
"Okay, Qu Futai, I admit that I am a common man??".
In the Chinese military tent, Zhu Hengjia calmly looked at the captured Guangxi patrol commander Zheng Feng.
"Mr. Zheng Xun, are you willing to surrender to this prison?"
Although he was only a seventh-grade official, Zheng Feng was not afraid and looked directly at Zhu Hengjia while talking.
"How does the king plan to treat Qu Gong?"
"This person will be killed alone."
"Why doesn't the king recruit Duke Qu to win over the people of Guangxi?"
"How can Qu Qitian be so loyal as to be able to recruit him to surrender? He is highly respected in Guangxi and responds to hundreds of requests, but he refuses to be used by Gu. The higher his reputation, the greater the threat to Gu. The Tartars are looking at Dandan and are about to go south. Gu will inherit the throne. Zi's legacy is to avenge the late emperor and restore the righteousness between the two capitals. Exterminate all the barbarians and return my clothes. I must control Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou in a short period of time, use the Annan Kingdom as a granary, and recharge my batteries for the future. I don’t have time to persuade these moral gentlemen to surrender slowly.”
Zheng Feng took a breath. This king is so ambitious. Now he has not even conquered Guangxi, but wants to conquer Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and even Annan wants to get involved. Since the Jiashen period of the Ming Dynasty, the territory has become smaller and smaller. , all the emperors only wanted to survive and had no ambition to expand their territory. Only this king has a heroic demeanor.
"Since the king wanted to kill Qu Qitian, why did he take him to Guilin?"
"Gu wants to kill him, but not now, but after he has established a foothold in Guangxi. Now that Gu is surrounded by enemies, he cannot provoke a civil uprising. When the situation stabilizes, Gu will kill Qu Qitian again. Tell the world that Gu not only has the heart of a Bodhisattva, but also has the means of thunderbolt."
"Have ambition, strategy, be forbearing, and be ruthless enough. A true hero is a hawk looking at a wolf. If the Manchus destroy my Han family's clothes, this is not the destruction of the country, but the destruction of the world. No hero can restore China. Brother Qi Tian, If I surrender to King Jingjiang, I will be reviled by you and the world. But can you understand my painstaking efforts?"
For the common people in the world, why should we fear the infamy of scholars? Zheng Feng knelt down and surrendered to Jingfan.
After Zheng Feng surrendered to Zhu Hengjia, Zhu Hengjia was very happy. He often said to his left and right, I was not happy to get Wuzhou, but I was happy to get Zheng Feng. I ate and slept with Zheng Feng. He also once said that getting Zheng Feng was like the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He got Zhang Zifang. So the whole Jing clan called Zheng Zifang Zheng Feng.
"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": Zheng Feng surrendered to the emperor, and the emperor was very happy. "Zhang Zifang Yan". The left and right people called Zheng Zifang Feng.
