Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the seventh day of October, the vanguard of the Zheng army on the East Road had already entered the territory of Dongguan. The Liu organization took the opportunity to rise up, so that Zheng Jun was able to take over the above-mentioned areas without bloodshed.

On the eighth day of October, Xinhui City, which had just been restored, ushered in the attack of Shi Yingyuan, the sea and land commander of Qingbeihai Town, and Li Rirong, the naval and land commander of Gaozhou Town, who had come all the way to reinforce Guangzhou. The desperate resistance finally failed to stop the attack of the Qing army.The Qing army that captured Xinhui massacred Xinhui City in the name of arresting the insurgents. In the end, only more than [-] people in the city escaped by chance.

When the brutal Qing army massacred the people of Xinhui, Zheng Jun's Qiongzhou Squadron established a simple water village on Shangxiachuan Island.The next day, Chen Baoshun personally commanded four notification boats to break into the Yamen waterway, all the way up to the outside of Xinhui City.Seeing the unexpected Zheng Jun gunboat, the panicked Qing army immediately fled northeast.The Qing army that escaped from the crime scene advanced all the way to Xiangshan. Although they arrived in Xiangshan smoothly, the people of Xiangshan who had been notified were united. Two divisions rushed to help.The two sides fought a battle under the watchful eyes of the people in Xiangshan. The Qing army was finally defeated, and the generals of the two towns died in battle.

Now that the entire route along the Pearl River is in the hands of Zheng Jun, Zheng Kezang ordered the Qiongzhou Squadron to sail into the Pearl River and go all the way up to Baietan. The Zheng Jun gunboats that entered the city of Guangzhou immediately bombarded them with four and a half inch short cannons. On the city wall of Guangzhou, Wu Xingzuo, who had only more than 5000 remnants in his hands, was unable to resist at all, so he boarded the boat overnight and led the army up. Guangzhou also fell into the hands of Zheng Jun.

After the restoration of Guangzhou, Zheng Jun carried out a new round of expansion. However, due to the lack of equipment such as rifles and artillery, Zheng Kezang mobilized the newly formed left and right Shenwu divisions, left archers, and right tiger guards to return to Dongning.The rest of the troops were divided into left and right armies, of which the right army was led by Mao Hongyan, who was promoted to the general army of Guangdong, and marched towards Zhaoqing and Guangxi;

After finishing these tasks, Zheng Kezang boarded the naval cruise ship and returned directly to Dongning. Just the day before his ship arrived in Dongning, according to his previous instructions, an envoy hurriedly came to Zheng Jianguo's mansion in Chengtianfu.

"The son of tomorrow!" Although the 66-year-old Zhu Youge had always hoped to replace the Jian Guo brand with the emperor, but when this pie fell from the sky, he and his eldest son Zhu Cichen were still dumbfounded. "Da Tianzi, this, is this what Zhang Guogong means?" Zhu Youge, who came back to his senses, hurriedly evaded after receiving the reconfirmation from Xu Mingting, the chief of the Yizhi Division. "There are a large number of Daming clans staying in Dongning, not to mention that King Lu and King Yi are all descendants of Taizu, that is King Huai."

"The supervisor is too worried." Xu Mingting interrupted Zhu Youge's unfinished words. "The feudal lord's decision has been made, and it won't cause any big disturbances if individual clans gossip behind their backs." Xu Mingting's words clearly imply that Zhu Youge should not wishful thinking even if he becomes emperor. "Just ask the prison country not to shirk."

Zhu Youge's brains turned sharply, and he asked tentatively: "After the lonely king ascends the throne, how far will he go to recruit the general?"

"The Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the General of the Recruitment, and the State Affairs of the General Zhang." Among the three titles, the General of the Recruitment was originally owned by Zheng Kezang. Now it falls into the hands of Zheng Kezang, who is actually Zheng Jia's private army under the name of the Ming army. Military and state affairs are also synonymous with the highest authority. "In addition, please grant the feudal lord the power to appoint ministers without the recommendation of the court, and please abolish the power of the supervisor of ceremonies to approve Zhu."

As soon as Zhu Youge heard it, he understood that although he was pushed to be the emperor, he was actually just a puppet in the hands of Zheng Kezang. The reason why Zheng Kezang did not directly proclaim the emperor now was precisely to take advantage of the last point of the Ming Dynasty. It's just appeal.

However, although Zhu Youge was a little ambitious, he knew how much he had. After looking at the eldest son Zhu Cichen whose brows were condensed into Sichuan characters, he sighed, leaned over and asked, "If you come here alone After killing the Ming Emperor, is it possible for Zhang Guogong to let Gu and Gu's descendants die well in the future?"

Smacking Zhu Youge's father and son's worry about gains and losses, Xu Mingting replied with a half-smile: "As long as you supervise the country, no, the minister is wrong, you should be called Long Live Lord, as long as Long Live Lord has no unreasonable thoughts in the future, as long as the day If the successor is willing to abdicate the throne, if he wants to come to the Lord, he will not be stingy with the title of a state guest."

Hearing Si Jun's words, Zhu Youge felt relieved, knowing that Zheng Kezang could not attack immediately. In his opinion, the battle between Zheng Jun and the Qing court was bound to last for a long time. If he doesn't have the intention to immediately usurp the throne, he may not be the last Zuo of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the ancestor's inheritance continues to be in his hands, his descendants will not care much about it.Not only that, Zhu Youge also knew that even if he didn't want to sit on the throne, there would always be someone among the dozen or so Ming clans in Dongning who couldn't help but want to sit on it and cooperate with Zheng Kezang. Why give up the opportunity to remain in the annals of history to others?

"I understand." Zhu Youge sighed and asked again. "Can the feudal lord bestow the king with meritorious service?"

"That's not necessary." Xu Mingting shook his head. "The feudal lord has made great contributions to the recovery. At that time, being crowned a prince is to inherit the fate of the sky. Isn't it more upright than the so-called support and support?"

"With the ravine in the feudal lord's chest, it is logical that the Ming Dynasty will be replaced in the future." Zhu Youge said this weakly, and then asked. "And I don't know when this will be done?"

"Don't worry about supervising the country, the feudal lord will return to Dongning in a day or two," Xu Mingting chuckled. "Naturally it will start at that time"

On October [-]th, two days after returning to Dongning, Zheng Kezang led a hundred officials to invite Zheng Jianguo to be the Son of Heaven after Emperor Zhaozong Kuang. The recommendation of hundreds of officials.The next day, Zheng Kezang mobilized the clan of the Ming Dynasty to implore Zheng Jianguo to succeed him as emperor. Zheng Jianguo resigned again on the grounds that the heir of Yizong (Chongzhen) was still alive according to folk rumors.Then Zheng Kezang instructed more than ten thousand people in Tianxing and Wannian counties to invite Fuque again, and Zheng Jianguo reluctantly accepted it, so he announced that the enthronement ceremony would be held in Fuzhou on November [-] of that year

Zhu Youge's enthronement ceremony is still in full swing. The news of Daming Chongguang has spread rapidly through various channels, especially the land raids of Zheng Jun's Northern Fleet and Zhoushan Squadron. The coastal area was passed to Kangxi's ears immediately.

Contrary to the reaction of the Manchurian ministers who were mourning their concubines, Kangxi, who was calm and calm, declared in public: "When Huang Kao was alive, he captured and killed two great sons of heaven in a row. As for the one who called himself Jian Guo It’s a big basket, and I’m still thinking, when will I be able to record in the history books that I captured and killed two great sons of heaven during the reign of Emperor Kangxi?”

Seeing the crowd of excited Manchu and Han ministers retreat, Kangxi's face turned livid in an instant: "Zhu Qin, you are extremely hateful!"

Whether Kangxi smashed a cup or a plate, someone would naturally hide it for him, but the news that Zheng Jianguo was about to succeed to the throne spread quickly across the south of the Yangtze River like a shock wave. The impression of the regime, of course, is that Zheng Junbing is now occupying two provinces in a row, making Ming Dynasty look hopeful, otherwise these people would either escape into the mountains and become old people, or they would have forgotten their ancestors and willingly become slaves of the Manchus.

In addition to the above-mentioned people who are ready to start speculating on the Zheng-Qing War, the remnants of the San Francisco Army, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army have also emerged from the countryside one after another, taking advantage of the extensive mobilization of the Qing Army, resulting in a shortage of troops in the towns and towns. At the same time, large and small anti-Qing uprisings were launched in full swing. Overnight, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan all had rebels capturing prefectures and counties.

As for the Zhu Da brothers who were extremely unhappy with Ming Zheng because of Hanliu's refusal to cooperate with the Ganxi Rebel Army, they also saw an opportunity to revitalize Daming. The two brothers discussed repeatedly. Although they could not reach Fuzhou through the theater, they might Do something for Zheng Jun who is under siege by the Qing army, so a far-reaching uprising began to brew again.

Regarding Zheng Jianguo's imminent ascension to the position of Great Son of Heaven, the surrounding countries also reacted fiercely. Although North Korea and Ryukyu could not express their congratulations publicly due to various reasons, the Japanese shogunate, which respects Zhu Zi's Neo-Confucianism and Han-Yi orthodoxy, immediately dispatched As the envoy of Chaohe, Guangnan, who was beaten by Zheng Jun to bow his head and ears, sent people north to Chaohe to try to improve the relationship with the Jinlan Dudufu.

The Portuguese in Macau, the Dutch in Batavia, and even the British, French, Spaniards, and even Danes who set up business offices in Penghu all focused on the development of the situation. Although they had different perspectives, no one Don't worry that a large-scale civil war will destroy the export channels of raw silk and tea.Of course, some countries tried to curry favor with Ming Zheng, a regime that was obviously on the rise. The French side ordered the recall of all French priests in Beijing. The Portuguese, who had been controlled by Ming Zheng, were forced to follow suit. The pressure of the authorities also withdrew the priests, thus delaying indefinitely the Qing attempt to reorganize the Taku shipyard.

On November [-]th, the Qing army in southern Zhejiang finally conquered Guantang, the key point on the South Yandang Mountain Road, and stepped into the territory of Fujian. Tomorrow's Enthronement Ceremony
