Kong Youde's information is good, and Zhu Youlang has indeed arrived in Wuzhou.

The military situation in Guilin and Quanzhou became tighter and stronger day by day. He could not let him prepare calmly and entrusted Guangzhou to the cabinet ministers headed by Wu Bing, and brought 12,500 imperial guards with him and hurriedly set off.

Those who went to the war with him were Chen Zizhuang, Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi, and the military generals included Chen Jitai and Li Yuanyin. It can be said that the soldiers were small and the generals were few and the strength was quite weak.

Using more than 10,000 soldiers to break the siege of Guilin and the whole province, although secret weapons such as grenades and landmines were helped, they were still a little risky. It should be noted that the Qing soldiers had 40,000 to 50,000, and they were a division of battles. They were very good at riding the siege. Isn’t it a siege to strike a stone with an egg?

How could the emperor and the emperor of Wancheng be easily on the dangerous land? Therefore, the ministers led by Wu Bing strongly opposed the emperor's hasty expedition. According to Wu Bing's idea, Shi Lang's navy could be transferred to come, even if only 20,000 troops were transferred.

However, Zhu Youlang didn't care. He said to Wu Bing: "I have a million soldiers in my heart, and a mere 'Sanshun King' is not my opponent."

Helplessly, Wu Bing suggested that all garrisons or local armed forces in Guangxi come to serve the king. Zhu Youlang also disagreed: "The soldiers are in the elite but not in the many, the imperial guards are well trained, and other garrisons cannot compare with them in terms of tactical qualities and fighting will. They have never been on the battlefield. When they encounter fierce Qing soldiers, they may be defeated in one encounter. If they cannot succeed, they may cause trouble. It is better not to have it."

Wu Bing and others could not persuade him, so they had to give up. Fortunately, since Zhu Youlang started his army, he has never lost his achievements, and the ministers are still somewhat confident.

Guangzhou's defense was still handed over to Chen Zhongwu. Given his good performance in the last support storm, Zhu Youlang still gave him full trust.

In addition, there is another matter that needs to be focused on - Zhu Youlang's secretary has been replaced.

The person who changed was also very famous in history, that is, from Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture, his surname is Yanwu and his courtesy name is Zhongqing. He is 34 years old this year, two years old, and three years old, little Huang Zongxi.

Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi were known as the "three major thinkers" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. These three people, together with Fang Yizhi and Zhu Shunshui, were also known as the "five great masters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."

Although Gu Yanwu was knowledgeable, he failed the exam many times. At the age of 27, he finally lost his intention to take the exam and gave money to the Imperial College Supervisory Student.

When the Qing army fought to Jiangnan, Gu Yanwu participated in the rebel army's attack on Suzhou, but was defeated without any suspense. After Gu Yanwu returned to his hometown, he experienced a storm of collusion with outsiders to plot against his ancestors. In order to avoid disaster, Yanwu had to "remove his hair slightly and change his appearance as a merchant" and renamed the merchant Jiang Shanzhu. For the next five years, he was in Wu and traveled between Hui. Although he was escaping from merchants, Yanwu still had his homeland and always paid attention to the progress of the anti-Qing struggle in the coastal areas, hoping to have the opportunity to make achievements.

After Zhu Youlang won the Zhangzhou victory, Gu Yanwu was excited when he heard the news and immediately headed south along the coast, successfully avoiding the Qing army fleet and arriving in Quanzhou.

He first visited Wang Fuzhi, who urged him to abandon business and go to politics and assist the wise ruler in achieving success. Gu Yanwu was worried about his identity as a businessman and was afraid that he would not be valued. Wang Fuzhi introduced Zhu Youlang's thoughts on governing the country and told him not to worry, that the emperor would value his reputation but not his reputation, and would definitely use it.

Only then did Gu Yanwu dispel his doubts and rushed to Guangzhou, and first found his friend Huang Zongxi, who was recommended to Zhu Youlang by Huang Zongxi.

When Zhu Youlang heard that the person recommended by Huang Zongxi was Gu Yanwu, he was ecstatic. In his opinion, Gu Yanwu was more valuable than Huang Zongxi and Wang Fu.

First, because Gu Yanwu had a wide range of knowledge, he traveled thousands of miles throughout his life, read thousands of books, and established a new method of academic research, national rules, county anecdotes, astronomical rituals, rivers and grains, soldiers and farmers, classics and history, and philology, and philology. He became a master who carried forward the past in the early Qing Dynasty and was known as the "founder of Qing Dynasty".

Second, Gu Yanwu's advanced thoughts are more in line with Zhu Youlang's concept of governing the country. His view that "those who protect the country, the monarch and the ministers who eat meat will plan it; those who protect the world will be humble and responsible" is in line with Zhu Youlang's view that "the world is the world of all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and not the world of me alone"; he doubts the power of the monarch, but does not deny the power of the monarch, which is also in line with Zhu Youlang's desire to establish a reformed feudal state system with "high central government and high freedom and equality of the people"; his view that he is practical and clear about saving the world is also in line with Zhu Youlang's philosophical logic.

With this great sage, how could Zhu Youlang not be ecstatic? Before he could think about it, he had to stand up from the imperial throne and greet him with a "turned-up walk". After walking two steps, Zhu Youlang sat back again.

It is true that Gu Yanwu is a great wise man, but whether he can control him is a question.

Gu Yanwu is different from Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi. Although the latter two have advanced ideas, they are still literary styles in their bones. They have not yet formed their own unique ideological system. However, Gu Yanwu is different. He is the famous "Zhuang Qi Gu Wei" with a arrogant and eccentric personality and a unique behavior. If he makes the move "thirsty for talent", he really may not appreciate it, and he may even look down on him if he doesn't do it well.

To impress him, you must first hit his arrogance.

Making up his mind, Zhu Youlang sat back on the imperial seat and said lightly: "Taichong, Xuan Gu Yanwu came to the palace."

Huang Zongxi felt a little strange: "I just looked anxious to pick up the treasure, why did I become cold again now? It was really surprising that the emperor acted."

Gu Yanwu came to the hall. When Zhu Youlang saw that he was thin and had a slightly vicissitudes of life. A short whisker under his jaw was slightly messy, and he obviously had never practiced it deliberately. The most obvious feature is that he was tall and had a foot of more than 1.8 meters, especially his two long legs were too long. In a sentence from his previous life, it was "all the legs below the neck". No wonder he would say the famous saying "It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books." It turns out that people naturally have the advantage of walking.

...

"Gu Yanwu, a grass-roots man, kowtow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Gu Yanwu was brought into the hall by the little eunuch, and walked two meters away from the imperial case according to the instructions of the eunuch, and knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Youlang neither shouted nor spoke.

First, he used his "powerful power" to give Gu Yanwu a first move; second, Zhu Youlang also secretly thought about how to make this strange sage respect and accept him?

After thinking for three minutes, I had an idea in my mind. Seeing that Gu Yanwu had already seen sweat on his forehead, I felt that the "Power Pressure" had been almost done, so I slowly spoke: "Gu Yanwu, do you know your guilt?"
