Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 216 Target, Nanjing!Goal, Beijing! (Seeking a monthly pass, asking for a subscription)

Fuzhou City, Gengwangzhuang, Jingnan Palace.

"Ming Zhongtang, my brother is absolutely loyal to the emperor and to the Qing Dynasty! Now the military situation ahead is urgent, and rescue is like fighting a fire. Brothers should have sent troops long ago, but the situation in Guangdong is not stable. Brother listen to Guangdong The people over there said that the live Lu Bu father and son had already cut their braids and changed their clothes, and openly restored the clothes of the Tang and Ming dynasties. Is this true? Will their father and son launch a sneak attack while my elite soldiers from Fujian are going north? Zhongtang, you just came from Guangdong, and you are the teacher of that little boy Lu Bu, tell my brother, have the father and son rebelled?"

It was Geng Jingzhong who spoke, this guy is still acting as a loyal minister for Mingzhu!

But having said that, Geng Jingzhong's play is still serious.His hairstyle and "costume" still look quite real, with uncut braids and a clean-shaven forehead, as well as the prince's robes, court beads, and a large hat with a ruby ​​top on the side shelf superior.The officials from Fujian who accompanied him to meet Mingzhu included governor Liu Bingzheng, admiral Wang Jingong, commander-in-chief Ma Weixing, Zhao Desheng, Wu Shu, and others, as well as several governors and deputy governors of Jingnan Wangfu. All of them wear braids that can prove their loyalty and wear standard official uniforms.Even Liu Jinzhong from Chaozhou next door now looks like a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. There are many braids, official robes, and court beads that should be there, and they are all real!

But drama is drama, no matter how good the drama is, Mingzhu will not take it seriously.

Moreover, Mingzhu can also act now!

He is holding a teacup and nodding his head now, as if he appreciates Geng Jingzhong's loyalty.When Geng Jingzhong finished reading his lines, it was Mingzhu's turn to speak. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Although Wang Fuchen and Wang Shikai have cut their braids and restored their Tang and Ming dynasties, they can't worry about it." If you don’t listen to the court’s orders, you can’t be considered a loyal minister, and you can’t compare with the prince. But they didn’t rebel either!”

Geng Jingzhong pretended to be surprised and said, "They all cut their braids to make clothes easy, support soldiers and separate regimes, and don't listen to orders, so it's not a rebellion?"

Mingzhu glanced to the left and right, and saw the expectant expressions of a group of admirals and commanders who were also planning to split the regime, and then smiled and said: "My lord, we are all on our own, and today we are meeting in private again. Let's not talk about the scenes in the officialdom. The situation in the world today is obvious to all, and it is already a world of great controversy!

And it's not our Daqing who has the upper hand on the scene, but that traitor Wu Sangui!Why did the emperor sit in Xi'an in person?Isn't it just to block Wu Sangui's passage from north to east?And Prince An, who sits in Jingzhou, and Prince Kang, who sits in Jiujiang, are also trying to hold back Wu Yingxiong and Dangzhu Li Zicheng, which shows that this round of great struggle is extremely unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.In my opinion, this troubled world is likely to last for a long time! "

He took a sip of tea and said again: "And for a powerful party who is not qualified to win a world in this round of great struggle, what is the most sensible way to do it? Just like Wang Fuchen, support the army to separate the regime , don't listen to orders, but stand in line before the general situation of the world is clear, isn't it a smart move?
Based on his army and territory in Guangdong and Guangxi, is it possible that there will not be one, or even four hereditary princes in the future?

If he sends troops to help the court or Wu Sangui now, what good will it do him?Once the world of great contention is over, who can allow him to separate the kingdoms of Guangdong and Guangxi?Even if he is better than Han Xin, so what?There is no benefit except for the master of high power.Wouldn't it be better to sit in Guangdong and watch the world quietly, and wait until the situation is clear, and then follow the example of King Wuyue and submit to the destiny? Wouldn't it be fun?
The Wuyue king Qian's family can be passed down for five generations. If you count from Qian Liu's appointment as the Tang Dynasty's Zhenhai Jiedushi, it will be 86!
Moreover, after the descendants of the Qian family entered the Song Dynasty, they had to be high-ranking officials, passed on their wealth, and lived with the Song Dynasty. They have been rich and honored for hundreds of years! "

At first glance, what he said seemed to be excuses for Wang Fuchen, but in fact it was to persuade Geng Jingzhong and his gang of small army leaders to lie down!
If you are a smart person, you can learn from Wang Fuchen and Wuyue Qian.Even if one side is separatist, just don't listen to orders.

But don't get meddled in this world of great controversy!
You fujian army leaders don't have much strength, you can separate a state and a half of the capital, be a local snake comfortably, wait for the world to have a result, and then surrender to the victor, wouldn't it be good to be rich for generations ?

What if the great battle in the world wants to fight for dozens or hundreds of years?Then you will have earned it. A century-old family and country, a party of princes, isn't it delicious?

If you don't lie down now, go to "roll" with Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, and the Qing Dynasty. Can you win?If you can't win, the lives of the whole family may be lost!
When he said this, the small minds of the Fujian army leaders who originally planned to rebel with Geng Jingzhong were shaken.

This Geng Jingzhong looked a bit thieves, and he didn't look like he could beat Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng. It didn't seem very interesting to follow him around, so he might as well just lie flat on his own territory.

Look at Wang Fuchen in Guangdong next door, he is so powerful that he has already laid down, and he has divided the land among several sons early on. When he is recruited in the future, he may be the four hereditary princes!

But to Geng Jingzhong's ears, the same words had completely different effects!

He believes that he has a destiny!

There is a destiny, of course you can't lie flat!
And Wang Fuchen's "lying flat", doesn't it just mean that "fate is in Geng"?

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Mingzhu: "Mingxiang, since Wang Fuchen wants to imitate King Wu and Yue, I can rest assured brother. As long as the brother's old nest in Fujian will not be taken over by the surname Wang, then brother will be Fight hard for my Qing Dynasty!"

As he spoke, Geng Jingzhong's tone sank and changed into an orderly tone: "Zhao Zongzhen, Wu Zongzhen!"

"The end is here!"

Zhao Desheng, the commander in chief of Haicheng, and Wu Shu, the commander in chief of Zhangzhou, knew that Geng Jingzhong, a recalcitrant prince, still wanted to rebel, and they had no choice but to stand up and salute Geng Jingzhong.

"The two of you will assist Lord Haicheng to firmly defend Zhangzhou, and at the same time make preparations to support Chaozhou and Quanzhou!" Geng Jingzhong said solemnly, "The three prefectures of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou have always been plotted by pirates from Dayuan Island. Land. Although the pirates have been relatively calm in the past two years and have not repeatedly entered the bandits, Zheng Haizhe will not die in his plot to plot the Three Houses. He is likely to take advantage of this king when he is going north. You two must be careful Deal with it, don’t miss it!”

"The order will be followed."

Both Zhao Desheng and Wu Shu heaved a sigh of relief—they didn't want to follow Geng Jingzhong to the Yangtze River Valley to give away the head.

In the Yangtze River Basin, there are Yue Le, Li Zicheng, Jie Shu, Wu Guogui, and Wu Yingxiong. Even if Geng Jingzhong got lucky and snatched Jiangning Mansion, these guys would rush to snatch them one after another!
In contrast, staying in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou is much safer.

The big deal is when Zheng Jing calls, they turn their backs and continue messing around.
"Admiral Wang, President Ma!"

Fujian Admiral Wang Jinbao and Xinghua General Ma Weixing also stood up excitedly when they heard this.

Wang Jinbao patted his chest, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a general guarding Quanzhou, even if Zheng Hai's gang is here, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not!"

Ma Weixing also smiled and said: "The last general will guard Xinghua and keep everything safe. You can go north without worry, my lord!"

Geng Jingzhong shook his head with a smile, and then bowed his hands towards the one in the void: "By the holy order! This king has been appointed as the Minister of Rescue and Suppression of the Yangtze River, and the Fujian Navy and Land Division. He has full power to dispatch and do things cheaply! The two of you are willing to go north with this king to kill Li Zicheng." no?"

Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing's hearts sank: it's over, this time I'm going north to kill Li Zicheng!Or. Fight against the Qing Dynasty first, and then be beaten by Jie Shu, Li Zicheng, Yue Le, Wu Guogui, Wu Yingxiong in a team!

And it’s okay if you don’t go!
Geng Jingzhong obeyed the oracle!You can also do it cheaply!What does it mean to act cheaply?It's not about doing things cheaper, but you can decide for yourself whether to behead some disobedient generals!
What's more, Geng Jingzhong also played a clever trick, letting Zhao Desheng and Wu Shu go first.Together with these two people in Zhangzhou were Fan Chengmo, Governor of Fujian, and Huang Wu, Lord Haicheng. The total strength of the four together amounted to more than [-].

So they will not stand up for Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing.
"The final general is willing to go north with the prince to kill thieves!"

"The last general is willing to be the king's pioneer!"

Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing had no choice but to bite the bullet and express their views.

"Okay!" Geng Jingzhong said with a smile, "I ordered you two to take a thousand soldiers from the headquarters to Fuzhou Fucheng within ten days!"

Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing had no choice but to accept Geng Jingzhong's command.

Geng Jingzhong raised his hand, pointed to the seat beside him, invited Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing to sit down, and then said to Mingzhu with a smile: "Mr. Ten thousand, plus Admiral Wang and Ma Zongzhen's [-] elite soldiers, Liu Zongzhen's [-] elite soldiers, and Chen Zongzhen's (Chen Shikai) [-] elite soldiers, a total of [-]!
Ten days later, we will go north to Xianxia Pass together. Then we will go to Quzhou and Yanzhou in Zhejiang Province. First, we will escort Mingxiang you into Huizhou, and then I will take the brigade to Jiangxi. "

Mingzhu smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, everything will be arranged by the prince."

Geng Jingzhong also laughed.

The pearl has been tricked!
As long as Mingzhu, the imperial envoy, went north with him, Duolong, Governor of Liangjiang, and General Echu, Jiangning General, would send some people to Huizhou to welcome them.

When the time comes, first suppress their weapons, and then let Geng Fan's elite soldiers pretend to be Liangjiang soldiers and Chen Shikai's soldiers, and "escort" Mingzhu to Nanjing City together.

As long as Nanjing is captured, Geng Jingzhong's "Son of Heaven clone" will be half completed!

At the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, Bashang Grassland, Duolunuoer Hall.

Now is the best season for early autumn in Kouwai, the autumn is crisp and the sky is blue and cloudless.On the golden grassland, groups of small yurts are dotted here and there.Flocks of sheep like white clouds flow on the hillsides.If it weren't for the countless small men with bows and arrows, scimitars, and Mongolian horses with short feet, gathered outside the city of Duolunnuoer, the current Bashang grassland would really be as beautiful as a painting of the grassland.

Immediately from the heights, I saw that the entire grassland was covered below. There were no less than [-] to [-] Mongolian men who were not strong or brave. The three father and son brothers were so distressed that they almost cried.

The reason why they were about to cry was, of course, that the nomadic cavalry of the Chahar tribes in front of them were neither strong nor brave. The Mongols gave the impression that they were all stocky men who were as strong as a big cabinet.

But in fact, to grow up like this, you must eat enough!

In history, when the Mongols were prosperous, and when they ate and drank spicy food with Genghis Khan's family, they were quite large.

But after the Ming Dynasty rose and the Mongols returned to the grassland, only a few elite warriors could grow up like that. Most of the ordinary herdsmen, no matter what kind of "breed", were hungry, and it was difficult to grow up. Be a big guy.

In the Qing Dynasty, probably only the Mongolian Eight Banners with weaving banners could grow into a big man.

On the grassland, even the soldiers were getting smaller and smaller, all of them were still sallow and thin, looking pitifully hungry.
Of course, the Mongols under the rule of the Qing Dynasty generally didn’t have enough to eat, so I really can’t blame the Qing Dynasty for excessive taxation. The Qing Dynasty just didn’t allow the Mongols to enter and rob if they had nothing to do.

The income from grazing is not very high, and it can’t be compared with farming and business. Moreover, there are many masters in each banner and department who want to be masters. They can’t enter to rob them now. Herdsmen's life is becoming more and more difficult
In addition, the long-term prohibition of robbery at the entrance and the prohibition of private wars by various banners and ministries have caused another very serious consequence, that is, most of the Mongols are not as brave as they used to be!
The Mongolian warriors in the past were not released by herding sheep, but were cultivated in an environment where you came and went to fight constantly among tribes!

After the Qing Dynasty prohibited the Mongols from entering and looting, and designated pastures for all alliances and banners to prevent them from competing with each other, this generation of Mongols on the Monan grassland lost the "foreign wealth" that could nourish themselves , and there is no environment for cultivating lethality.

Although the Mongols gathered outside the Dolonnuoer Hall are also equipped with scimitars, bows and arrows, they are not real Mongolian warriors, at best they are "armed shepherd boys".

Of course, most Mongolians themselves don't know the reality that Mongolian warriors are neither strong nor brave.They have been on the grassland all their lives and are restricted to grazing in designated areas. Where can they meet real Mongolian warriors?
Those people were all on the grasslands of the Western Regions, and they didn't come to Monan, but they were fighting Rakshas, ​​Kazakhs, and Yeerqiangs all day long in the West!
From the perspective of these "armed shepherd boys" on the Monan grassland, as long as they can be led by the hero of the golden family, they can automatically transform from "armed shepherd boys" into Mongolian warriors sweeping all directions.

And now, the hero of the Golden Family seems to be here!
There are still three fathers and sons, and the three heroes all look tall and strong, and they look very masculine and fierce at first glance!
Are the good days of the Mongols coming soon?
Just when these "armed sheep herding boys" from various banners in Chahar looked up at the three "heroes" of the Golden Family, imagining that they could follow them to revive the glory of the Mongolian Empire, Burni opened his throat and shouted : "Mongolian warriors. Now that the southern Central Plains are raging with war, the Pingxi King Wu Sangui of the Qing Dynasty has raised the anti-flag and swept across the southwest half of the wall. He is about to kill the Hetao Grassland! The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is already difficult Parry, and this is the time for us Mongolian boys to make a difference!"

While speaking, he drew out a scimitar with a rather simple shape, pointed at the southern sky, and shouted again: "Now, I, the descendant of Genghis Khan and Xue Chan Khan, the Khan of Wanhu in Chahar, Central Wang Burni, will lead you south! Go south! Go south!"

The "armed shepherd boys" below also suddenly became jubilant, and the shouts of "Go south! Go south!" resounded all over the grassland for a while!

Fujian, Xiamen Island.

At this time, Wang Zhongxiao was still dressed as a six-rank smuggler and profiteer in the Qing Dynasty, sitting in a rather spacious house, drinking tea with two men in the python robes of the Ming dynasty princes, and talking to each other.

One of the princes is of course Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Cijiong, the third prince. Ming Xiandi has not yet become emperor, but Ding Wang already has one!
And the other Ming Dynasty prince was a thin man with high cheekbones, small eyes, and a shrewd face. Needless to say, he must be Yanping Wang Zheng's "fine".

There were two accompanying guests beside him, one was Chen Yonghua, who was wearing a military officer's robe of the second rank of the Qing Dynasty.

The other was a military officer of the Ming Dynasty in his thirties, wearing a bright red robe and a black gauze hat.This person Wang Zhongxiao is also quite "familiar", his name is Feng Xifan, he is now the head of Zheng Jing's bodyguard, he must be a master, right?
"Third Prince, Your Majesty, I have just received a report. Jingnan Wang Geng Jingzhong has led an army of [-], escorting Mingzhu, Shang Zhixin, Zhu Guozhi, Li Lan and others to go north to Xianxiaguan. It seems that he is going to go to Anhui. Enter Nanjing!"

When the greetings were about the same, Chen Yonghua began to report the most important military situation!He kept in touch with Geng Jingzhong all the time, so he knew the news of Geng Jingzhong's dispatch of troops immediately.

"Okay!" Zheng Jing slapped his hands and laughed, "It's time for us to send troops to Fufu. Are we sure we can take Ningbo and Shaoxing? If not, we can also send troops to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou instead!"

Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are Zheng Jing's hometown, and of course he also has a foundation there, and the distance is also close.

Now the elite of the [-] Yanping Prince's Mansion has been concentrated on Xiamen Island, and it can be said that it is easy to land in Zhangquan.

While talking, he glanced at Wang Zhongxiao again: "Shikai, why don't we take Zhangquan Second Mansion, and after you take Chaozhou Mansion, Guangdong and Fujian will belong to our two families?"
