Chapter 399: Assassination

After scolding Liu Guoxuan, Zhu Jun was swept away the boredom in the sea. Zhu Jun went to the mansion he had prepared for a long time to rest. On the second day, he inspected the people's livelihood on Qiongzhou Island. Today, Qiongzhou is still an unkai area. The population of Han people only accounts for 40% of the population. There are some local natives, among which the Li people are the most. After thousands of years of ethnic integration, the Li people also began to learn from the Han people to open up land and farm, and regular markets and ruins appeared. Betel nuts, coconuts and cattle became bulk and sold to ports and inland.

The local officials of the Third Division and the military officers of the Navy were naturally accompanied by Zhu Jun's inspection. In addition, the heads of the Li tribes were naturally among them. The vast crowds of people passed through the streets and the bustling guards, and the streets were originally a little narrow, so there was no normal scene of the downtown city. Zhu Jun's face looked bad, and he waved his hand and went home. This was not a patrol. It was obvious that he was swaying through the city. Not only did he disturb the people, but he also disturbed Zhu Jun's interest.

With the order from Zhu Jun, the mighty officials turned hurriedly again, and then suddenly a roar of artillery came from behind. Only a strong explosion was heard on the long street behind Zhu Jun. Immediately, a general behind Zhu Jun, snatched Zhu Jun and pressed Zhu Jun to the ground. The officials had never seen such a scene before. It was immediately in chaos. The Ming soldiers who were still guarding the navy general Zuo woke up, and Liu Guoxuan, who was with Zhu Jun, shouted loudly: "Send a team of people to search everywhere, and the rest protect the emperor."

Zhu Jun was pressed by a general and covered himself with his body. The surroundings were already densely surrounded by Ming soldiers, which seemed to build a barrier with flesh and blood. Then someone shouted: "Go and carry the sedan chair. It was a mess for a long time. Seven or eight soldiers brought the sedan chair. The sedan chair was wrapped in iron. It was originally built by the officials of the governor here because there were many local people here. But I didn't expect that someone would hit the saint now, which was just right for use. The general who suppressed Zhu Jun had helped Zhu Jun up, and a group of Qing soldiers surrounded Zhu Jun and moved towards the iron sedan chair. It took a lot of time to help Zhu Jun into the sedan chair. Then many people carried the sedan chair. Zhu Jun sat in the sedan chair and was in a mess. Zhu Jun's mind was in chaos. He felt the sedan chair rising from the ground and then moved quickly. Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

For a short time, Zhu Jun could not know what happened. He still covered his chest and thought about the scene just now with lingering fear. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. If he had not ordered his return home, the bomb would have exploded on his head. Although Zhu Jun had a strong personality, his spirit had never been sublimated to the point of not being afraid of death. If he was not afraid, it would be a false statement.

Who wants to assassinate himself? This assassination was obviously planned, and there must be internal ghosts involved. Otherwise, how would these people know that Zhu Jun is going on a patrol? How would they know that he must be patroling here? A cold sweat broke out on Zhu Jun's forehead. The safety of this time the patrol was arranged by Liu Guoxuan, and the route of the patrol was also prepared by Liu Guoxuan. Could it be that Liu Guoxuan was going to assassinate him?

Zhu Jun finally shook his head. The possibility was very slim. Liu Guoxuan was promoted by him. What are the benefits of assassinating himself? But who is this person?

Before Zhu Jun thought too much, the sedan chair had stopped steadily. Liu Guoxuan opened the curtain with a pale face and helped Zhu Jun out. Zhu Jun saw that it had reached the inner courtyard of the General Office, with personal guards everywhere. The officials of the Third Office of Qiongzhou Prefecture had knelt on the ground. In such a serious incident, their black hats might be lost.

Zhu Jun glanced at Liu Guoxuan with a gray face and felt confident that his life was finally saved. The incident had already happened. Now someone has been inspecting it. What he has to do now should be suppressed, otherwise the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture and even the entire Jiangnan will be quarrel.

"Liu Aiqing." Zhu Jun looked at Liu Guoxuan with a calm look on his face. Liu Guoxuan lowered his head, ashamed and angry, so he dared not look at Zhu Jun's eyes. He knew best in his heart that the security here and the route of the emperor's patrol were arranged by him. The first thing behind the assassination made people think of himself. This is a serious crime that cannot be cleared even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Even if he was cut into pieces, it would be cheap.

Zhu Jun smiled slightly and patted Liu Guoxuan on the shoulder: "I believe in you."

This sentence contains many meanings. But one thing is very clear that the emperor believes that Liu Guoxuan will never assassinate the Holy Lord. He believes that Liu Guoxuan is absolutely loyal. Liu Guoxuan raised his head in a daze. Then his shoulders trembled. Even Xie En forgot. He just looked at Zhu Jun with blurred eyes. Finally, he nodded fiercely: "I must have found out the thief and shattered the corpse."

Zhu Jun looked at the official kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Get up."

The officials of the Three Divisions of Qiongzhou Prefecture breathed a sigh of relief. However, although the emperor did not hold them accountable for joint responsibility, the Shengjia was assassinated on his own territory, which still made many people feel heavy and shook their heads and stood up one by one.

The crowd shouted, "Is the Minister of Rites here?"

The Minister of Rites in the crowd quickly ran out. He was also shocked and bowed to Zhu Jun with lingering fear: "Please give me the order."

Zhu Jun looked straight: "I went out today and encountered this incident. Obviously, I didn't choose a good day. You are the Minister of Rites. You chose this good day. Why? Shouldn't you punish me?"

"Ah, the old minister is wronged..."

Zhu Jun's voice was very loud, and his tone was first ridiculous. Ming Bing on one side was stunned at first, then finally understood and immediately started a burst of laughter. However, the civil and military officials seemed a little reserved and cold. Only the Minister of Rites, who was kneeling on the ground, realized that the emperor was not really trying to punish him, but to spend it. Unfortunately, he couldn't respond, and even called for wrongedness and made a joke, and could only speak with a bitter face.

After laughing, the shadows that were originally coiled around the heads of officials and generals were swept away. Zhu Jun wanted this effect. The more he encountered something, the more he could not be anxious. Isn’t the buddy still dead? It’s useless to cry with a sad face. The most urgent thing is to find the murderer and slowly relieve the hatred in his heart.

"By the way." Zhu Jun suddenly thought of something: "Who is the general who just pressed me down?"

Just after the cannon fired, Zhu Jun was immediately pressed to the ground by a savior, protecting him with his body. He also had to repay his kindness as an emperor, and at least he had to see someone talking.

A honest middle-aged Qianhu stood up and saluted Zhu Jun and said, "The last general Gan Hui, come to the emperor, long live my emperor."

"Gan Hui?" Zhu Jun suddenly had an impression in his mind. When the Zheng Navy surrendered, Zhu Jun specially asked someone to find information about the Zheng Navy generals. In addition to Liu Guoxuan, who was promoted by Zhu Jun in history, the most common person seemed to be the one who appeared. Zhu Jun thought that this name looked familiar at the time and seemed to have known it somewhere. In addition, he was always uneasy about the old generals of the Zheng Navy. Although they were all placed in the Dongyang Navy camp, they could only be considered middle-level officers and could not enter the top management.

At this time, Zhu Jun suddenly remembered a content in the Deer and Cauldron in his previous life, Gan Hui? Isn’t Gan Hui, who is known as the leader of the Five Tigers under Zheng Chenggong?

The first of the five generals under Zheng Chenggong was Gan Hui. At that time, Zhu Jun just wrote down this person in a brief manner. Later, he saw the deeds of this person in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he remembered it not very reliable.

In fact, in real history, Gan Hui was originally from Xiafang Village, Dongyuan Village, Haicheng County. His parents were mourned early and his family was poor. He was a righteous man and liked to stand up for justice. Therefore, he was persecuted by the clan leader and wandered in Zhangzhou, Shima, Haicheng and other places, and did not dare to live in the countryside for a long time. Later, Zheng Chenggong rose up in Nan'ao to fight against the Qing Dynasty and recruited troops to buy horses. Gan Hui joined the Zheng army's tent and was famous for his bravery and good combat.

When the Zheng army attacked Tong'an, Gan Hui stepped forward and immediately killed the Qing garrison Wang Ting on the horse. The garrison general Qi Guangqiu, Lianlang and the magistrate Zhang Xiaoling fled at night. At dawn, the residents opened the city gate to welcome the Zheng army.

Then, the Zheng army captured Changtai, Gan Hui advanced to Beixi, defeating the Qing Dynasty garrison Wang Jin and the Governor Chen Jinjun.

Afterwards, Zheng Chenggong led the Northern Expedition, Gan Hui, Lin Sheng and others 15~

It was not until 1658 that it was the second year of Xinshi. Zheng Chenggong was defeated. Zheng Chenggong rushed his troops to retreat and fled for the ship.

Gan Hui cut off the rear and retreated. He arrived at Haikou, with only 30 to more than 30 people left. Gan Hui killed dozens of people, and he was exhausted and tripped. Gan Hui was captured. Gan Hui and Wan Li and Yu Xin were both discharged to Nanjing. Lang Tingzuo, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, and Jin Li, and Gushan, met with Jin Li. Gan Hui stood upright and did not kneel. Wan Li and Yu Xin both knelt. Gan Hui stretched his legs and said, "Is the fool, do you want to survive here?" He cursed unyieldingly. All three people were killed. However, due to Zhu Jun's appearance, the situation of Li Dingguo in northern Myanmar was alleviated. It was precisely because of this butterfly effect that Zheng Chenggong did not participate in the battle with the Qing army, so Gan Hui survived. Later, he arrived in Haidu and became an inconspicuous general in the Dongyang Navy.

Zhu Jun glanced at Gan Hui: "From now on, you will be my personal guard commander. You will be responsible for the safety of this Northern Tour."

Gan Hui did not refuse and hugged his fists: "Abide by the order."
