Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

However, although the Zheng army did not seize the large cities that the Qing army guarded strictly, they abducted more than 10,000 households in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Guide and other places alone, and even cut off all the summer grain that was waiting to be harvested.The defenders in the city watched without tears as the flamboyant Zheng Jun escorted the weeping civilians every day, carrying all kinds of carriages, mule carts, and pushing carts all the way south, but they didn’t dare to attack at all—yes, even The [-]+ Zhennan army doesn't know whether they are dead or alive. Just relying on my small body to go head-to-head with the opponent, it's okay. I'm thankful that they don't come to beat me, so why bother with getting into trouble

On August 36th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, Shandong Fubiao and Yanzhou Town arrived at Guide Mansion.The next day, Guo Shilong, the governor of Shandong and Henan, handed over the Guide Defense and the Xuzhou Camp, and carefully led the supervisor and the Shandong reinforcements to Kaifeng. The closed city of Kaifeng.

Immediately, Guo Shilong and Henan governor Mu Sen wrote an inscription together to praise the great victory. However, in the memorial to Kangxi, he said frankly: "Looking at the losses of the counties in Henan, the conspiracy of the sea rebellion can be understood. There is no tax to pay to the imperial court, but the slaves know it but can't deal with it."

On the same day when Guo Shilong played the performance, the Ming army led by Zhu Da lost first and then won in Tongliang. They defeated the new Sichuan army led by Wu Fan, the governor of Sichuan, and shocked the whole Sichuan. Many anti-Qing forces and opportunists came to vote one after another. Or ready to move, for a while, the Qing government's rule in Sichuan was also very precarious.

After receiving the bad news from central Sichuan, Kangxi had no choice but to order the Shaanxi army to enter Sichuan. At the same time, since Zheng Jun had already invaded Yunnan and restrained the troops of Jianchang Township in Sichuan, making it unable to fully support the war in Central Sichuan, he ordered the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Kaiyinbu to abandon the defense. In Yunnan, he led the whole army into Sichuan to take over the governor of Sichuan. As for Wu Cheng, although he was incompetent, he was loyal, so he moved the capital to the capital, the Zuodu Yushi, to continue to win over the Han army banner and unite under the rule of the Manchus.

Since the Sichuan matter is critical, the status of Henan is becoming more and more critical, so there are endless imperial envoys from Beijing.Under the pressure of Beijing, and waiting for the reinforcements from the three towns of Zhili, Xuanhua, Taining, and Malan, who came from Zhili to raise the bid and supervise the bid in a hurry, Guo Shilong then mustered up the courage to contact Zhengzhou and Henan Prefectures to the west and recover from the south. Weishi, Yanling, Taikang and other places, but like Suixian, Tongxu, Qixian and other places, the Qing army only took back a few empty counties. [ ]

On August [-], the forward of the Shanxi reinforcements arrived in Weihui.After hearing the news, Guo Shilong immediately led his troops to Xuchang, and made a gesture of attacking Ruzhou to the west, Runing to the south, and Chenzhou to the east. , to guard Guo's flank.

However, Zheng Jun acted step by step. On the first day of September, Zheng Kezang ordered that Zhili Prefecture of Guangzhou, Zhili Prefecture of Lu'an and Luoshan County of Runing Prefecture should be simplified into Guangzhou Prefecture, which belonged to Jianghuai Province. Commanded by the Huainan General Army, he dug lakes, planted trees, built forts and beacon posts along the Huaihe River in order to stick to it for a long time.On the same day, Zheng Kezang also ordered that Zhili prefecture of Jingmen be transferred to Anlu prefecture, and Xinyang prefecture be transferred to De'an prefecture of Hubei.

On the seventh day of September, the Qing army who waited for reinforcements from Shanxi went west and recovered the entire territory of Ruzhou where only snakes, rats, insects and ants were left.

On September [-], the Henan Qing army "rescued" the siege of Chenzhou Fucheng again.

At this time, Zhu Da's tribe, who had won a big victory in Tongliang, fought back aggressively, successively captured Dazu, Tongnan, Suining, Anyue and other counties and marched to Ziyang, threatening Chengdu.Chengdu was shocked three times a day. Fortunately, General Sang'e of Chengdu took Songpan Town into the city, so Chengdu was temporarily safe.Perhaps it was because of the strong walls of Chengdu and the lack of ability of the Ming army to attack fortified fortifications. Therefore, seeing that the reinforcements from the Qing army had arrived, Zhu Da led his troops to fight in central Sichuan to capture prefectures and counties that were easier to conquer. The momentum was enthusiastic for a while, but Zhu Da did not Conquering Chengdu in time without annihilating the reinforcements of the Qing army laid the groundwork for future failures.

On September [-], the Qing army "struggled" to recapture the counties of Runing. So far, except for Xinyang and Gwangju, which were guarded by Zheng Jun, and Nanyang Mansion, which was guarded by soldiers, Henan has "completely recovered".However, out of concern about the strength of the Zheng army, the Qing army did not take the risk of attacking Nanyang and Xinyang, and the two sides formed a new round of confrontation.

Guo Shilong actually overestimated the combat capability of Zheng Jun. Because he accidentally plundered as many as 60 to [-] households of Henan people from Henan, Zheng Jun had to deploy a large number of troops to supervise and send these people who were dissatisfied with Zheng Fan because they left their homes. The people went south to Shitun, so on the Nanyang line, the Zheng army was left with only one infantry division and two cavalry divisions, less than one-third of the Qing army's strength. Zheng Jun's falsehood.

Speaking of which, not only was the army unable to continue fighting, even the shogunate, which had just moved to Wuchang, was almost paralyzed because of the problem of resettling the people in Henan.However, the Qing army obviously didn't know this situation, otherwise, even if it was because of the shortage of soldiers and supplies, the Qing army would have mustered Yu Yong to attack Nanyang and attack Huguang along the Suizao line, making Zheng Kezang's victory fall short

On the eighth day of October, Naertu, who had finally struggled out of the deep mountains and old forests, was led into southern Shaanxi by the captured herb collectors, and the news of the complete annihilation of the Zhennan Camp and subsequent reinforcements was confirmed.Kangxi, who had already lost his temper, ordered the arrest of Naertu and others to enter Beijing on the one hand, and on the other hand arrested Yue Shenglong's family members according to Naertu's report, but Zheng Fang sent someone to inform Gansu with Yue Shenglong's letter early in the morning Lintao Yue's family.

Knowing that disaster was imminent, the Yue family resolutely abandoned their home and fled to Sichuan under the cover of Zheng Fang's secret agents. Although the Qing court issued a arrest warrant, they couldn't catch the young and old of the Yue family for a while.Of course, Zheng Jun's strength in Sichuan is weak, and it is not an easy task to bring the Yue family under the rule, and everything has to be done slowly.

On October 20, the assembled Qing army defeated the [-] mob gathered by Zhu Da in the east of Jianyang, and Zhu Da was forced to retreat to eastern Sichuan to defend. The situation in central Sichuan has changed again since then.However, Zheng Jun, who swept through Yunnan and Guizhou, had to look forward to Shu, and invaded Sichuan from Syria. Although it was blocked by Jianchang Town in Sichuan, Pu'er Town in Yunnan, and Zhaotong Town in Yunnan, it also shattered the Qing army's plan to go south to Yunnan and Guizhou after annihilating Zhu Da's tribe in one fell swoop. attempt.After that, Zhu Da controlled Chongqing, Kuizhou, Zhongzhou and other two prefectures and one prefecture, and part of Tongchuan, Jiading, Baoning, Shunqing and other prefectures. Occupied by the Qing army, Sichuan fell into a strange situation where the three parties contained each other

On the seventh day of November, Zheng Jun, who had finished escorting the people in Shitun to the south, began to return to Nanyang one after another. Zheng Kezang, who had been worried all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.Now that the crisis was resolved, Zheng Kezang began to replace the commander in front.So Lin Sheng, the former general of Huguang, was ordered to return to serve as the privy envoy, and Sun Youlao, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was appointed as the general of Henan, commanding the ten divisions scheduled to be stationed in Nanyang.The next day, Zheng Kezang ordered the addition of the Jingzhou camp. So far, Zheng Kezang has initially completed the layout of Huguang.

On November [-], Zheng Kezang returned to Wuchang and announced the construction of Xiawang City between Wuchang and Ezhou, which sparked rumors.It is rumored that Zheng Kezang intends to move the capital to Wuchang, and the completion of Xiawang City will be the day when Zheng Kezang will replace the Ming Dynasty.Zheng Kezang did not explain this, so the rumors intensified.Not to mention how Zhu Da, who was benefiting from the Zheng army's entry into Sichuan after being introduced to eastern Sichuan, would react. Judging from Zang's attitude towards the previous two persuasions, it is unlikely that the Zen Dynasty will happen immediately.

Of course, Zheng Kezang is really planning to set the future capital in Wuchang, and there are many opinions in the clan, thinking that Zheng Kezang may have forgotten the fundamentals in this move.Just as there are different opinions about support or non-support, affirmation or denial, a mysterious messenger quietly crossed the Qing-Zheng military demarcation line and entered Xinyang.

"Are you Guo Shilong's emissary?" Looking at someone with downcast eyebrows, Le Minyue was a little confused about where he came from. "Finally, but your master has figured it out, so why don't you abandon the Qing Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty?"

"My lord general is joking." The visitor chuckled lightly and shook his head. "This is a big matter, should you let your personal soldiers avoid it?"

If he hadn't checked the other party's body and knew that the other party was not carrying a weapon, Le Minyue really wanted to drive the other party out immediately, but he hesitated for a while, and waved back the guards beside him: "Now we can talk, but ugly words can As mentioned above, if you want to persuade you to surrender, you don’t need to speak up.”

"Don't dare." The visitor raised his head. "I'm not the envoy of Governor Guo." Seeing Le Minyue showing his murderous intent, the visitor hastily clasped his fists. "Your Majesty, Wailang Sukhatu, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is ordered by the Emperor to see the King of Xia, and convey the intention of the two countries to stop fighting!"

"What, you are a peace envoy?" Le Minyue exclaimed in astonishment.

Sukhatu shook his head with a smile: "My lord is surprised by what you said, but I'm a good messenger."
