Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 116 Kangxi's Anger (please subscribe!)

After receiving the exact news of Zheng Kezang's attack on Xiamen, Wan Zhengsebu, who was still camping in the wild, quickly entered the state and rushed all the way to Quanzhou.

Encouraged by Wan Zhengse, the [-] Green Battalion marched extremely fast, and arrived at the foot of Quanzhou City in less than five days.

Knowing that there was no enemy here, Wan Zhengse took the lead, high-spirited, wearing cotton armor and holding a sword in his hand, just like a middle-aged general of the Qing Dynasty who had a successful career.

But soon, he reined in the horse, because he saw a corpse hanging from the tower.

The corpse was close to decay. Wan Zhengse rode a fine horse and took a closer look. It turned out to be Sun Chaorang, the prefect of Quanzhou who had hanged himself before.

Wan Zhengse felt a chill in his heart, thankful that he made the right decision and stayed away from Ming Zheng's soldiers, otherwise the end would be bad.

Wan Zhengse also had a certain friendship with Sun Chaorang. When the old acquaintance passed away, he was a little sad: "Guangfu, once you are old, you will go as soon as you go. You are on the other side. Please keep me safe, little brother."

As soon as Zheng Kezang left, Quanzhou was in a state of no management, and there was chaos everywhere, and the street hooligans took advantage of the chaos and ran out to do some petty things.

The arrival of the [-] Green Battalion brought the city of Quanzhou back to peace.
Wan Zhengse successfully "recovered" Quanzhou. Of course, this was a peaceful "recovery" without any exchange of fire, except that the green camp killed a few hooligans and took Quanzhou without injury. This can be regarded as an epic "great victory"!
But the problem now is that Quanzhou Prefecture has been taken, and Xiamen Island has been lost. What should we do?
Wan Zhengse didn't have a good relationship with Yao Qisheng, Shi Lang and others, so of course he wrote a memorial to complain.

If he didn't write it, he would have to share the responsibility for losing Xiamen. He is now writing a memorial to Kangxi to sue, and he can also take credit for recovering Quanzhou.

As for the lives of Mr. Li Guangdi and his entire family?

I can only say I'm sorry, but Wan Zhengse is from Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, and he is also from the same town as Li Guangdi. He also respects Lord Li Guangdi, but compared to his own future, that is nothing.

Strange to say, in the reign of Kangxi, there were many famous generals and ministers who were born in Quanzhou, Fujian. It is really a place of geomantic omen.

In any case, the memorial has been written.

Wan Zhengse's resentment from being kicked away is still there.

Soon, the complaint memorial to the capital from the direction of Fujian was advancing at an accelerated speed of six hundred miles.

Six hundred miles urgent, as the name suggests, requires this memorial to travel six hundred miles every day during the delivery process.

The courier galloped wildly with the memorial on his back, changing horses for a relay every time he reached a post station.

Since each post station is about [-] miles apart, each horse can run with all its strength, and there is no need to cherish physical strength.

Theoretically, it is a great event to be able to get the memorial of "[-]-mile rush", and the speed of six-hundred-mile rush is already the peak of the feudal era.

As for the rush of [-] miles, it is even rarer.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, there were only two times when the [-] li was used to expedite: one time when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was wiped out, when the Hunan Army captured Jinling, the "capital" of the Taiping Army, Yang Yuebin and Zeng Guoquan used it to report victory.

The other time was when Emperor Tongzhi took advantage of Cixi's illness and sent an urgent decree to behead An Dehai, the eunuch who had left Beijing in violation of the regulations.

Therefore, it is unscientific to use [-] miles a day to expedite in TV dramas.

In order to prevent the memorial from being intercepted by Yao Qisheng and others, Wan Zhengse sent several routes at the same time, and he would definitely reach Kangxi safely.

Of course, Yao Qisheng wasn't just for nothing, after learning of Wan Zhengse's betrayal, he hurried six hundred miles away and wrote a memorial. This memorial clearly stated why Shi Lang failed so miserably, and at the same time, he shirked responsibility a little. , Shi Lang has to carry the cauldron!

The six-hundred-mile rush was really extraordinary, and it took only seven days for Wan Zhengse's memorial to arrive in the capital.

On September 20, the 25th year of Kangxi, the land of the capital was shrouded in a cloud, just like the face of Kangxi in the Qing Palace.

After reading Wan Zhengse's and Yao Qisheng's memorial, his face collapsed.

Since he ascended the throne, he has faced countless enemies, but in the end, he still won.

But this time is different, Yizhou Island is originally a barren place, how can it compare to the vast territory and rich products of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, they had been driven out of the sea before, and now they are coming back, it is really lingering.

It was against such a remnant and defeated Ming Zheng that the Fujian navy suffered such a big defeat.

bang.

Kangxi slammed his fist heavily on the dragon chair, and threw the memorial under the steps.

"Hundreds of warships, big and small, cost countless silver. Even a small place like Yizhou Island can't be defeated, and even got kicked in the face. I really misjudged the person." Kangxi said angrily.

"Before the situation was very good, I shouldn't have changed the admiral!" Kangxi glanced at the civil and military ministers in the Qianqing Palace, shaking his head.

"Come here, pass on the imperial decree, let Shi Lang, the criminal, be escorted to the capital at a certain date, and no one will intercede!"

"Now, the remnants of the Fujian navy have been defeated, and even retreated to the Quanzhou port area, and were pursued by the hypocrisy sea bandits. The entire army was annihilated, and even Quanzhou city and Xiamen were captured. Is it possible that he, Shi Lang, took so much from the national treasury? Yinzi, just give me such an answer?"

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was very angry.

He remembered that he believed so much in Li Guangdi's recommendation, and Shi Lang so much, and gave Shang Fang the sword, but the current result was not only unacceptable to him, but also unacceptable to the entire Qing Dynasty.

The annual tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty is only 4000 to [-] million taels of silver. How much will it cost to rebuild a Fujian navy?

How could Kangxi not feel distressed!
The Minister of State and Political Affairs, Suo'etu, couldn't bear it long ago. He had repeatedly stopped the preparations for the Fujian Navy.

Now, the huge navy built with tens of millions of taels of silver was wiped out at the door of his house. It was unbelievable. He even felt that Shi Lang was a traitor!
It turned out that it was fine, so why not replace him with the admiral?

Moreover, if the Fujian Navy wants to recover from a loss of this scale, it may take several years.

"Your Majesty, in this defeat, the guilty general Shi Lang must be severely punished. Today, the Fujian Navy is in name only, and the southeast coast will be harassed by false pirates. The Han people must be strictly enforced. Otherwise, it will be great. The borders of the sea can only make those pirates cheaper in vain."

Suo'etu suggested to the angry Kangxi.

Suo'etu felt that Shi Lang was a villain who repeatedly jumped around, even more repetitive than Wu Sangui. He was already upset when he was asked to be the admiral of the Fujian Navy before!
Li Guangdi, who was close to him, supported him, so he reluctantly agreed to this matter.

It's a pity for Li Guangdi, Suo'etu thought regretfully.

Now in the court, everyone is very knowledgeable, no one mentions the matter of Li Guangdi's whole family, Li Guangdi's face is pale, and he didn't say a word in Qianqing Palace today.

Kangxi probably didn't want to deal with Li Guangdi in his heart, so he didn't mention his name.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and Nalan Mingzhu had always been at odds with Suo'etu, so he decided to speak for Shi Lang!
