Chen Zizhuang's surrender was indeed like a fish in water and a tiger with wings for Zhu Youlang.

Chen Zizhuang is a native of Guangzhou and has been in the officialdom for a long time. He has many disciples, many relatives and friends. He is a real local snake. Among them, there are two people who are most interested in Zhu Youlang, one is Lin Cha, the current commander of the Shaowu Dynasty naval army, and the other is Zhang Jiayu from Dongguan.

The Lin family is also a wealthy family in Jiujiang. They have been with the Chen family for thousands of years and have a close relationship with the two families. Moreover, Lin Cha Lin Jue is Mrs. Chen's nephew, while the second lady of the Chen family married Lin Jue.

Chen Zizhuang was very confident about Lin Cha, Lin Jue brothers, and he said that as long as he spoke, the Lin brothers would be able to change their flags.

Zhang Jiayu, whose courtesy name is Yuanzi, was very good at martial arts since childhood. He was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen and served as the right assistant censor of the Longwu Dynasty. After Emperor Longwu was killed, he returned to his hometown Dongguan to train armed forces. Like Chen Zizhuang, he wanted to use these villagers' armed forces to carry out the fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Youlang knew very well about Zhang Jiayu. He, Chen Zizhuang and Chen Bangyan, were collectively known as "Three Zhongshu in Lingnan".

"Haha, if the Lin brothers surrender, then I will have a navy army. In the future, the navy will be indispensable. It turned out that I wanted to subdue Zheng Chenggong, but now it is not necessary. If Zhang Jiayu surrenders to me, then the three loyalists in Lingnan will be all. Not bad, this trip to Guangzhou will have a lot of rewards." Zhu Youlang laughed in his heart.

"Chen Aiqing, if you surrender the Lin brothers and Zhang Jiayu, you will have great achievements. You can tell Lin Cha that if he can surrender, I will not be able to do anything wrong with the past, and will give him the position of left governor of the navy army in our court, and will lead the navy army in the future. In the future, I will follow me to clear the disaster, increase the title, and give my wife and son. I will definitely give him a reward of title. As for Zhang Jiayu, I intend to give him the Minister of War and take charge of the Ministry of War with my beloved." Zhu Youlang said to Chen Zizhuang.

"I obey the order, please rest assured. I will write to Lin Cha and Zhang Jiayu." Chen Zizhuang was naturally very happy to see that the new emperor valued the talents he recommended.

"Okay." Zhu Youlang agreed.

Next, Zhu Youlang asked Bai Xing to invite Chen Bangyan and discuss the next key battle with Chen Zizhuang.

...

Ding Xu successfully passed all the checkpoints of Shaowu Dynasty and headed towards Huizhou.

As soon as we entered the boundary of Huizhou, the more we walked eastward, the more we felt something was wrong with Dingxu. The pedestrians on the road were basically going eastward, why are there so few people coming west, and there are not one persons that can't meet more than ten miles? In theory, Guangzhou and Huizhou have always had a lot of trade and frequent transactions. They should be bustling and crowded. There are so few people. Could it be that the Qing soldiers occupied Huizhou?

The more I think about it, the more I feel reasonable, and the more I think about it, the more anxious I feel. If the emperor really makes the right judgment, then the master means to immediately ask for the leader of the Qing army and reveal the intentions of Emperor Yongli. Think about it, today is already twenty-two days. If I cannot meet the leader of the Qing army in time, then Emperor Yongli's plan may be successful. In that case, the master's plan will be disappointed.

Thinking of this, Ding Xu speeded up his journey despite the hardships of running around in recent days.

At noon, Ding Wei finally arrived in Longhua Town.

The Ming army was guarded by the west gate of the town, which made Ding Xu doubt his judgment again: "Didn't the Qing army come? Did I make a mistake in my original judgment?"

"Stop! What are you doing?" A sergeant guarding the gate shouted loudly.

When Ding Xu heard this, the soldiers spoke not Cantonese, but the accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When he saw that they were all covered with their heads, a sense of suspicion arose in his heart.

"June, I am a businessman, I'm going to Huizhou to do business." Ding Xu hurriedly laughed.

"Where is the silver?" When the soldier heard this, his eyes shone and stared at Ding Xu and asked.

"June, this is a little bit of a small matter. Let's have some tea." Ding Wei took out a small piece of silver and handed it over.

"Stop talking nonsense! Take out all the money." The soldier in charge said fiercely.

"June, I am a businessman. If you take them all away, I can't explain to the shopkeeper when I go back." Ding Xu said in a crying voice.

"Stop talking nonsense! Search him!" The leader's sergeant waved his hand, and several soldiers came up to capture Ding Xu and searched all the money he had on him.

"You can't do this, I'm going to sue the official!" Ding Xu saw that these people's actions were not the style of Mingjun. Although the money was searched for money, he was very happy. In order to further verify his judgment, he pretended to be very anxious and said.

"Sailing the official? Accuse your mother? Your magistrate has sued, where are you going to sue?"

"Ah? Are you the Qing army?"

"Bang!"

The Qing army led by the leader slapped Ding Xu in the face: "I am the Qing army. If you are so nagging, I will kill you!"

"So it's really the Master of the Qing army. It's so good. I'll look for you. Jun Ye, please report to Marshal Li, I have an emergency military situation and need to report it in person!" Ding Xu said excitedly.

"Who the hell are you? Did you meet Li Dashen whenever you want?" the sergeant in the lead cursed.

"My identity can only be said when I see Dashuai Li," said Ding Xu.

"Depending on your appearance, you are just a slave. What emergency military information do you have? Get out!" The soldiers did not believe him.

"I said, Jun Ye, I do have an emergency military information report. I advise you to report it quickly. If something goes wrong, you can't afford it." Ding Xu threatened with a stern face.

After hearing his fearless statement, several soldiers discussed it and thought that they would take him to see Shangguan. If the military information was really delayed, they would really not be able to afford it. If this kid was talking nonsense, it would not be too late to kill him again.

Ding Xu was taken to Li Chengdong's tent and told Li Chengyin about the situation. Li Chengyin asked a few questions first. When he heard that the person claimed to be the family of Ding Kuichu, a great minister of the Yongli Dynasty, had Ding Kuichu's handwritten letter, and did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly brought Ding Xu into the tent.

"What? You sent by Ding Kuichu? What is the evidence?" Li Chengdong asked.

Ding Xu quickly tore open the mezzanine of the clothes and took out Ding Kuichu's handwritten letter and handed it on.

Li Chengdong opened the letter, read it carefully, and said, "Since the letter is not signed, how did I know that this is written by Ding Kuichu?"

"It's a big deal to go back to the Grand Marshal. My master was afraid that this letter would fall into the hands of others, so he didn't dare to be named." Ding Xu said kneeling on the ground.

"Well, it makes sense. Then you came to see me to send this letter?"

"No. My master said, let me tell the Zhaoqing Mingjun action plan to the Grand Marshal and ask the Grand Marshal to decide on his own. If my master needs to cooperate, please ask the Grand Marshal to give instructions. My master will obey his orders."

"Okay, then tell me, what's going on in Mingjun?"

"The Grand Marshal, Emperor Yongli judged that the Qing soldiers had attacked Chaozhou and Huizhou, and would pretend to be the Ming army and sneak attack Guangzhou on the 25th..."
