Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 201 The World Shakes ([-])

Like the Yongli court, when he learned that Nanjing was captured by the security forces, Zhu Chenggong was extremely shocked. He did not expect that the city of Nanjing that he had been dreaming of was captured by the security forces, so he also decided to send an envoy Go to Nanjing.

At this moment, Zhu Chenggong had just regained Xiamen.Not long ago, Zhang Xuesheng, governor of Fujian Province, learned that Zhu Chenggong's main force had gone to Guangdong and that Xiamen's defenses were loose, so he ordered Ma Degong, Wang Bangjun and others to attack Xiamen.After the successful attack, the Tartars plundered Zhu Chenggong's family savings, weapons and equipment.When Zhu Chenggong learned the news of the attack on Xiamen in Guangdong, he originally insisted on going south to serve the king, but in the end, because the whole army was unwilling to go south, he had to return and regained Xiamen.

At this moment, Xiamen has almost become an empty city. The families of the soldiers who stayed in Xiamen suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the army was extremely low.

When Zhu Chenggong learned the news from Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, he immediately spread the news that Nanjing City was captured by the security regiment to the whole army, and the morale of the whole army was immediately high.After fighting for several years, Zhu's army is still in Fujian and Guangdong.Under the years of battle, there were many small victories, and there were also many big defeats.As a result, Zhu Jiajun became weaker and weaker as he fought, and he couldn't even keep up with Zhu Chenggong's father's strength.

Because of the despair of the future, some generals in Zhu's army surrendered to the Tartars frequently, and even turned around and attacked the former Paoze.At this moment, when the soldiers knew that the great cause of resisting Tartarism had been revived and that the city of Nanjing had been restored, everyone was excited.

In this troubled world, it is common for wives and children to be scattered and their families to be destroyed. Soldiers who embarked on the road of resisting Tartars naturally knew that they and their families were likely to suffer misfortune in the future.So even though they were saddened by the loss of their family members, they were all excited when they learned that their life-long struggle had hope of success.

Let's go to Nanjing, which means that the anti-Tartar forces in the south of the Yangtze River finally have a capital city that can compete with the Tartar capital. Then the capital of the Tartars will naturally retreat to Beijing, and even more radical ones will attack the capital of the Tartars. North Korea and the puppet are all commensurate.Winning Nanjing will be a boost to the anti-Tartar forces in the world. It will revitalize the anti-Tartar forces that have been declining day by day, and make the traitors who had firmly followed the Tartars wave again.

The pre-Ming dynasty perished due to natural disasters and man-made disasters due to frontier wars, due to infighting among cronies due to lack of finances, but the most important thing was due to the lack of support from the people.Just because everyone thought that the former Ming Dynasty was about to perish, Li Chuang asked for countless surrenders when he went east, and the Tartars also rushed to surrender when they went south.But later, the Tatars shaved their hair and made it easy to obey the order, which caused the people all over the world to revolt violently, and the security team also took advantage of this opportunity to rise up.

It's just a few years later, the power of the Tartars has become stronger and stronger, countless volunteers have been wiped out, and those landlords and gentry who were originally motivated to move forward have gradually accepted the rule of the Tartars, which is extremely unfavorable against the Tartars. of.

But now it is different, the city of Nanjing has fallen into the hands of anti-Tartar forces, which has a great impact on the southern provinces.It is foreseeable that there will be another upsurge of anti-Tartarism in Lianghu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places.So, now is Zhu Jiajun's chance.

Therefore, Zhu successfully summoned many generals to discuss matters.

In the meeting hall, the generals of Zhu's army were very excited, and chatted with people who knew each other about the bright future of Nanjing after the liberation.The impact of the fall of Xiamen was gradually replaced by the good news of Nanjing's recovery.

Seeing his subordinates regain their morale, Zhu Chenggong finally breathed a sigh of relief.Because of the fall of Xiamen, Zhu Chenggong obviously felt that the morale of the army was unstable, and now he is finally relieved.

When everyone arrived, Zhu Chenggong first told about the recovery of Nanjing by the security corps. Although everyone knew about it, the generals were still very excited to hear it, and some even started to applaud.

Although this violated discipline, Zhu Chenggong didn't care at all at the moment, and his heart was filled with joy.

At this time, Zhu Chenggong's general Gan Hui got up and said.

"Guo Xingye, the security regiment's occupation of Nanjing has had a great impact on Jiangnan's anti-Tartar cause! Congratulations to Guo Xingye, our army finally doesn't have to be cramped in this coastal place."

"That's right! Lord Guoxing, let's go to Nanjing. The forces of the Tartars around us will tighten their forces. The Tartar court will also mobilize large soldiers to encircle and suppress Nanjing. This is our chance. The general thinks that our army can go north to Fuzhou." Shi Lang Also said with a smile.

Frustrated by the great cause of fighting against the Tartars, Shi Lang believed that the Tartars were invincible. After the fall of Xiamen, Shi Lang had the idea of ​​surrendering to the Tartars.It's just that when the news of Nanjing's recovery came, the small thoughts in Shi Lang's heart naturally disappeared.Even though Shi Lang disagreed with Zhu Chenggong, even though Zhu Chenggong cut Shi Lang's power and suppressed him, but now the prospect of resisting Tartarism and Zhu's army is bright, Shi Lang naturally put his tail between his legs and started a new life, following Zhu Chenggong's footsteps.

Hearing what Shi Lang said, Zhu Chenggong nodded with a satisfied smile.He is very satisfied with Shi Lang's attitude. Although Shi Lang is a warrior who knows how to fight well, if he is not in his control, then he doesn't care.Now that Shi Lang took the initiative to lower his posture, Zhu Chenggong was naturally relieved.

Then Chen Hui, Zhou Rui, Huangshan, Chen Bang and others also said in a hurry: "Master Guoxing, why don't you take advantage of the army to attack Zhangzhou's capital city, which is only a hundred miles away from Xiamen. This nail."

"Fight Zhangzhou and destroy these traitors."

In fact, Zhu Chenggong also had plans to fight Zhangzhou in his heart, so he followed the advice of Chen Hui, Zhou Rui and others, and went to fight Zhangzhou Fucheng.

Although Zhu Chenggong did not follow Shi Lang's suggestion again, Shi Lang was not angry this time.Because the current situation is very good, even better than when Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren rebelled against Li Chengdong in Jiangxi and Guangdong anyway in the second year of Yongli.With the security regiment in the north blocking the army of the Tartar court, the main enemies of Zhu's army are now the Green Battalion soldiers of the Tartars and a few puppet flag soldiers of the traitor princes, so the pressure is naturally greatly reduced.

Three days later, Zhu Chenggong raised his troops and landed from Haicheng. He Wenxing, the guard of Haicheng, surrendered, and Haicheng County fell without a fight.Then Zhu Chenggong's army headed west all the way to Zhangzhou Fucheng.At this time, news about Jiangning City being captured by the security regiment and the regent Dorgon's sudden collapse had already spread.Although the Tatars tried their best to conceal it, as time passed, the two news gradually spread.At this moment, people in Zhangzhou Fucheng were in panic. Facing Zhu Chenggong's tens of thousands of troops approaching the city, the prefect of Zhangzhou and the guarding generals finally chose to surrender, so Zhangzhou Fucheng also fell without a fight.After taking Zhangzhou Fucheng, the Zhu family's army was in full swing.Then Zhu successfully divided his troops and captured Nanjing, Changtai, Zhangpu, Pinghe, Yunxiao, Zhao'an and other places.

In less than a month, Zhu Chenggong's army took all Zhangzhou mansions, and was even more likely to go north to Quanzhou.For a while, the Tartars in Quanzhou Prefecture panicked, and there were endless official documents asking for troops from the provincial capital.
