Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

In fact, Zhu Heqi did not plan to go to Ganzhou for a large-scale northern expedition. At this time, the road in Jiangxi is not easy to travel, and logistics supplies cannot be transported.

It is easier to go to Jiangxi or go north to the Yangtze River Estuary by sea.

However, Ganzhou Mansion can also be used as a false soldier to scare the Qing soldiers and let them keep more soldiers in Jiangxi.

As soon as Liu Jinzhong listened to Yang Qilong's explanation, he also felt that he was very important, and his enthusiasm for a big fight became even higher.So he said to Yang Qilong: "Mr. Yang, why don't you go to Fuzhou with me, if King Geng is willing to do it together, then I will follow your way."

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "Okay, King Jingnan and I are old too, and I also have a personal letter written by the President's Generalissimo to King Geng."

Wu Sangui's autographed letters were all written in batches, but they didn't write anything serious, only things like "someone is my confidant".

If there is any business, the person who holds the letter will go to the person who receives the letter to discuss it in secret. After the negotiation is completed, they will generally not sign any papers-the Qing court cannot be left behind!

So such letters are actually not very valuable. When Liu Xuanchu left Yunnan last time, he brought a lot of them with him.When Liu Xuanchu returned, he gave Yang Qilong all the unused letters, including letters to Liu Jinzhong and Geng Jingzhong.

Chapter 242 Geng Jingzhong, Really Loyal!

The governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, Jingnan Wang Geng Jingzhong is not in his hometown Fuzhou these days, but has been staying in Longxi, the first county of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

The purpose of his coming to Zhangzhou Mansion was to negotiate with Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping County of Daming who was stationed in Xiamen Island, to jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty-this matter is not easy to handle!

Fujian is the homeland of the Zheng family, especially the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, which are the foundation of the Zheng family.

If Geng Jingzhong didn't cede these two mansions to Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing wouldn't talk to him at all... Zheng Jing got sugar medicine and incendiary bombs. After entering the four counties and one hall in Quanzhou, the waist is hardened!

But if Geng Jingzhong gave up these two mansions...will the Zheng family make progress?

The possibility is great!Because where can the Zheng family, who won Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, develop next?Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are bordered by Chaozhou in Guangdong and several state capitals in Fujian.

It is impossible for Zheng Jing to go to Guangdong to grab territory with the third prince Zhu. If he wants to develop further, he must go to Nanjing like his father.Either expand in Fujian!

And no matter how Zheng Jing chooses, he will have conflicts with Geng Jingzhong... because Geng Jingzhong doesn't want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he wants to be the emperor himself!

So this negotiation is kind of at an impasse...

Geng Jingzhong's second purpose in coming to Zhangzhou was to coax away Fan Chengmo, governor of Fujian Province in the Qing Dynasty.

Although Emperor Kangxi appointed Geng Jingzhong as the governor of Fujian before, it did not mean that the officials sent by the Qing court to Fujian immediately packed up and left.Emperor Kangxi is willing to do this, but the civil servants and generals below are not so easy to talk about!Some of them are warlords, and some are officials bought with money. How can they leave as soon as they say it?And now the Zhu family's court in Guangdong is thriving again, so don't get mad, they just cut off their braids, and go against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, Geng Jingzhong can't get so many officials to take over the local government in Fujian.He also had no imperial examinations, and unlike Wu Sangui, he was not able to recruit and accept rebels during the demise of the Nanming regime, and hired a group of Nanming officials for his own use.

Therefore, after Geng Jingzhong got the position of Fujian governor, he immediately told Emperor Kangxi that he would not appoint a large number of "Geng Xuan civil officials" and would not ask for the removal of Fujian governor Liu Bingzheng.

This Liu Bingzheng was the elder brother of Liu Bingquan, the governor of Guangdong, and he was also a second-generation slave.However, this guy has a very good relationship with Geng Jimao, Geng Jingzhong and his son, and he probably believed in the nonsense that "the son of heaven is divided into ears". Since Kangxi was transferred to the governor of Fujian in the fifth year of Kangxi, he has stayed in the post at the request of the Geng family and his son. It has been 12 years since Kangxi, and he hasn't moved his nest yet. The governor of Fujian is so good that he has almost learned "Hu Jian's dialect".

But Geng Jingzhong, Fujian's military power, must be firmly grasped!So the imperial court had to recall Fan Chengmo, the governor of Fujian, and the embarrassing imperial envoy Mi Sihan.

Of course Kangxi agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request... If he didn't agree, Geng Jingzhong would quit!And I can't keep going.There are not many soldiers in Fujian Province, but there is a guarding vassal king, a governor, and an imperial envoy to supervise the military affairs minister.The three of them can theoretically control all the Qing troops in Fujian.A bunch of admirals and soldiers below are almost fainting, who the hell should I listen to?

Therefore, Emperor Kangxi had to transfer two of the three "Fujian commander-in-chiefs" so as to unify the military orders in Fujian, so Mi Sihan and Fan Chengmo had to pack their bags.

The imperial envoy, Mi Sihan, was originally a "temporary official", and he failed in his mission, so of course he has to take the blame.The head will not be killed, the slave is still a good slave.So I just gave it a dismissal, go home and eat old rice for a while, and look for opportunities to start it later!

As for Fan Chengmo's test, it was not so easy.

He is not at fault, and he is the second generation of senior slaves in the Qing Dynasty, so he is loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

He, Ama, is a model of slaves in the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, and his stepmother served Heshuo Yutong County King Duoduo... The old man is still alive, but that is the ancestor of the Fan family, whose status is comparable to that of Jia in "Dream of Red Mansions". Mother is about the same.During the holidays, I will tell my children and grandchildren about the glorious deeds of serving Duoduo back then!

Moreover, Fan Chengmo worked hard as an official. When he was the governor of Zhejiang Province, he was particularly effective in investigating all kinds of rebels. After careful investigation, he found the traces of a third prince Zhu——he found a man living in the Siming Mountain area. The teacher named Wang Shiyuan is extremely suspicious!

At that time, Fan Chengmo was already ready to arrest him. As a result, there was a "Third Prince of True Zhu" who had been certified by many parties in Guangdong, and the descendants of Kong Ming were also involved.

Therefore, Fan Chengmo, based on the principle of not letting a "real Zhu San" go wrong and not wronging a "fake Zhu San", resolutely gave up arresting, and went to Lanxi County, Jinhua Prefecture to arrest Zhuge Liang's descendants... There are quite a few, but they are all descendants of Zhuge who are Jianghu doctors, and they have not found Kong Ming's secret script.

Fan Chengmo was of course dissatisfied with such a result, and when he was about to deal with it severely, Emperor Kangxi transferred him to Fujian as governor.

While serving as governor of Fujian, Fan Chengmo discovered that Geng Jingzhong seemed to be rebelling a little bit... The evidence is an "anti-song" that has been widely circulated in Fuzhou, Funing, Xinghua and other places. The lyrics are "Seven stars worship the truth again Son of Heaven, it is clear that fire starts from the ears, kills three mountain cattle and bleeds, and the army riding white horses stops."

In addition, Fan Chengmo also inquired about the prophecy that "the son of heaven is divided into fire ears".

However, with only one "anti-song" and one "prophecy", it is impossible for Fan Chengmo to bring down such a great slave as Geng Jingzhong.

Moreover, Fan Chengmo is not sure whether the "anti-song" and "prophecy" were created by Geng Jingzhong himself, or whether they were made up by the Third Prince Zhu of Guangdong or the pirate Zheng Shizi of Taiwan to wrong Geng Jingzhong... Since then, rebels in Han areas have generally fought under the banner of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

It seems unlikely that Geng Jingzhong would not use this banner but act as the "true son of heaven".

And just when he was going to investigate further, Geng Jingzhong successfully deceived the little Holy Master Kangxi!

However, Emperor Kangxi did not transfer Fan Chengmo away with an edict, but first sent Fan Chengmo a court post, asking where he wanted to be an official?

And Fan Chengmo took this opportunity to release the news, saying that he was going to Fuzhou to be the governor of Fujian... This made Geng Jingzhong very anxious.

If Fan Chengmo arrived in Fuzhou, wouldn't all his "crimes" be exposed?

So Geng Jingzhong hurried to Zhangzhou Mansion with Liu Bingzheng and Zuo Chunqiu, thinking of ways to coax Fan Chengmo away.

But why is Fan Chengmo so easy to coax?That's also a ruthless character who doesn't get into it!

When Geng Jingzhong, Liu Bingzheng, and Zuo Chunqiu were growing up, Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng led Wu Sangui's envoy—Yang Qilong, a military strategist who was already famous all over the world because of Emperor Kangxi's edict, came to Zhangzhou together!

……

"Take it for me!"

Outside the city of Zhangzhou Prefecture, in Yuanshan Gengwang Manor at the foot of Yuanshan Mountain, Geng Jingzhong, who had just seen Yang Qilong, suddenly got into trouble and ordered his Goshhana people!

When he bluffed, Yang Qilong was not doing well, and Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng were already stunned.

Liu Jinzhong shouted: "I am wronged! I am wronged... I, Liu Jinzhong, have not yet betrayed the prince and joined President Wu!"

Wu Qifeng also yelled: "Yes, yes, yes, Wu did not betray the lord... The boss Hui wants to marry Wu and ask Wu to send his daughter to the third prince Zhu to be his concubine. Wu has not agreed yet. What! You can't listen to rumors!"

Hearing what the two said, Geng Jingzhong snorted coldly, "I'm not arresting you!" He pointed at Yang Qilong, "I'm arresting him! Yang Qilong... He deceived my brother Wu Yingxiong and the monk's letter. If the emperor arrests him, as long as he is caught and his head is chopped off and sent to Beijing, the emperor will believe that I, Geng Jingzhong, am loyal!"

Chapter 243 Geng Jingzhong, quickly become a master!

It turned out that Geng Jingzhong had a bad idea of ​​using Yang Qilong's head as a petition to win the trust of Emperor Kangxi... But then again, if he really did this, Emperor Kangxi would definitely transfer Fan Chengmo away immediately.

However, his Geng Jingzhong's rebellion will certainly not have to be done, and he will probably be labeled as a Qing loyalist soon.

Because it is impossible for Zhu Heqi to let him go, the culprit who killed Junshi Yang!

However, in the face of Geng Jingzhong's butcher knife, Yang Qilong and Grand Army Master Yang did not change his face, and even laughed out loud.

Geng Jingzhong and Yang Qilong are very familiar... His prophecy that "the emperor's body is divided into ears and fire" was also studied with Yang Qilong who was still pretending to be a monk at the time.

So he also knows how capable Yang Qilong's clever mouth is!

To deal with this kind of person, you can't let him talk too much, so he immediately ordered: "Come on, push this monster out and kill him..."

Gorhashi, who was guarding outside the second hall of Geng Wangzhuang, heard Geng Jingzhong's order, and responded loudly with "嗻", and then rushed in without any explanation to arrest Yang Qilong.

Now Yang Qilong is also a little panicked, he eats "open mouth", he is most afraid of encountering Erbaiwu who can't help but say that he will kill someone.

In desperation, Yang Qilong was about to shout "I am Yang Xiuqing, Daming's right deputy military advisor", but Zuo Chunqiu, Geng Jingzhong's military advisor, jumped out to stop him.

"Wait, wait...My lord, what are you doing? Do you still want to do the great cause of expelling the Tartars? If you want to kill Junshi Yang, you have to follow the Tartars all the way to the end! Junjun Yang came from Guangdong Yes, I must have met the Third Prince Zhu!"

Hearing Zuo Chunqiu's words, Geng Jingzhong quickly raised his hand, and then those ferocious Goshhas stopped, standing around Yang Qilong, staring fiercely at this great military strategist.

Yang Qilong is also a bit dumbfounded, he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, with a good skin and a clever mouth, he can eat everywhere, but today he almost got killed by the bastard Geng Jingzhong.

Geng Jingzhong looked at Yang Qilong coldly, "Your surname is Yang, have you met the third prince Zhu? Is there an agreement between King Pingxi and the third prince Zhu to divide the world equally? Tell me quickly!"

Wu Sangui is still in Yunnan and Guizhou...maybe he has arrived in Xiangxi, which is still far away from Fujian!So Geng Jingzhong wasn't very worried that Wu Sangui would settle accounts with him for Yang Qilong's affairs.

But the third prince Zhu is in Guangdong, and he will march into Fujian at any time.Moreover, both Shang Kexi and Tu Hai were beaten to the ground twice by the son of the third prince Zhu, the third grandson of Zhu... Geng Jingzhong felt that he might not be able to beat the third grandson of Zhu either!

If his little bit of strength is wiped out by the third grandson of Zhu, then no prophecies or anti-songs will work.

Geng Jingzhong, who knew that he was not his opponent, had been trying to find a way to contact the third prince Zhu during this time, hoping to form an alliance with the other party and divide the territory.

But the third prince Zhu didn't pay attention at all, obviously he didn't take Geng Jingzhong seriously.

At the same time, Zheng Jing was extremely tough and demanded that Geng Jingzhong immediately hand over the Zhangzhou and Quanzhou mansions... and then we can talk!

Therefore, when Geng Jingzhong heard that Zuo Chunqiu mentioned the third prince Zhu, he put away his murderous intentions for the time being—if this Yang Qilong had contacted the third prince Zhu on behalf of Wu Sangui before, and had already reached an agreement, then he could not kill others casually. head off.

Faced with Geng Jingzhong's questioning, Yang Qilong just smiled without saying a word, and put on the airs of the world's number one military adviser.

"My lord," Liu Jinzhong was already smiling for Yang Qilong at this time, "Mr. Yang is the envoy sent by President Wu to contact us, and he had already talked with the third prince Zhu before."

"Have you talked with the third prince Zhu?" Geng Jingzhong became interested.

"It's settled, it's settled," Liu Jinzhong said with a smile, "The third prince Zhu also asked Mr. Yang to send 5000 taels of gold to Beizhi and Wu Zhentai...they are all gold ingots from the Pingnan Palace! Wu Zhentai can't spend that much, so I sent you 3000 taels, which is a small gesture of gratitude."

"Travel expenses?" Geng Jingzhong was taken aback, "What kind of travel expenses?"

Liu Jinzhong smiled and said, "Of course it's the travel expenses to Jiangxi Ganzhou Mansion."

Geng Jingzhong was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

Liu Jinzhong replied: "Go to Jiangxi Ganzhou Mansion!"

"Go for what?"

"Of course I'm going to be the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi!"

"What?" Geng Jingzhong became angry when he heard that Liu Jinzhong was going to be the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi. "Liu Jinzhong! What do you mean? You have already surrendered to the third prince Zhu?"

"No, no..."

Geng Jingzhong became even more angry, glaring at Liu Jinzhong and asked, "Then you surrendered to Wu Sangui?"

"not yet."

"Then what kind of Southern Jiangxi general are you?"

At this time, Yang Qilong took Geng Jingzhong's question with a smile, and replied instead of Liu Jinzhong: "Liu Zongrong is the Qing court's general army, so of course he will be the Qing court's Southern Jiangxi general army!"

"Also, still be the chief soldier of the Qing court? Then, do you still oppose the Qing Dynasty?" Geng Jingzhong was stunned for a while, looked at Liu Jinzhong, and stammered as he asked, obviously his mind was a little stuck.

Yang Qilong smiled and replied for Liu Jinzhong: "Of course Zongrong Liu is going to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and he served as the Qing court's Southern Jiangxi Army to better rebel against the Qing Dynasty!

Geng Wang, if you want to make an indelible contribution to the great cause of the anti-Qing Dynasty, you have to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty for a few more years!

If you honestly raise an anti-Qing flag to fight against the Qing, with the strength of your troops, it will not be of much use.But if you want to continue to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, then your contribution to the great cause of the anti-Qing Dynasty will be great! "

Why does this sound so harsh?Co-authoring me is a waste, anti-Qing will not accomplish anything, and continuing to be loyal to the Qing will ruin things for the Qing?

Geng Jing said faithfully: "Why do you, Yang Qilong, look down on people? I have the blessing of destiny. If I rebel against Qing, I will definitely be able to come to Jiangning soon!"

Liu Jinzhong on the side nodded again and again, and helped Yang Qilong and said: "My lord...Mr. Yang has already told the humble officer that those who do rebellion should not be too honest, but be smart!"

Rebellion needs to be more refined?Geng Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, and thought: "I've always been refined, and no matter how refined I am, I will become refined!"

Liu Jinzhong said again: "Besides, the rebellion is not about the sooner the better, but the opportunity must be seized. If the opportunity is not met, it will be in vain. When the opportunity arrives, it will be a sudden rebellion, and it will be a great success if he makes a surprise rebellion. ah!"

"What's the surprise?" Geng Jingzhong asked.

Liu Jinzhong said: "Mr. Yang asked us to pretend to be loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty first, and pretend to be good. Go to Ganzhou Prefecture to pretend to be a low-level official, and you will pretend to be here in Fujian. Keep pretending until President Wu's army kills Yuezhou Prefecture, and begins to go east along the Yangtze River. When attacking Wuchang, suddenly attack again!

At that time, you will join hands with the third prince Zhu and send troops to copy Tu Hai and Shi Lang's retreat.The soldiers of the third prince Zhu can pass through the Ganzhou Mansion where the humble officer was stationed, go north to attack Nanchang Mansion, and then enter Jiujiang Mansion from the west of Poyang Lake.And the minister can continue to pretend to be a loyal minister, pretend to be invincible, and fight and go north, in fact, he is leading the way for the third prince. "

Is it okay?Geng Jingzhong's eyes widened, obviously quite surprised.

Liu Jinzhong continued: "Once the soldiers of the third prince enter Jiangxi, Tu Hai and Sun Sike will be attacked by the enemy. If they can't resist, they will ask the prince for help.

In the name of rescuing Tu Hai and others, the prince's army attacked from Shaowu and Jianning, rushed to Raozhou, and marched from the east of Poyang Lake to Hukou, Taipingguan, and Madang Town of Jiujiang Mansion.Then there will be another surprise... As long as Hukou, Taipingguan, and Madang Town are lost, the Qing soldiers in Wuchang will definitely collapse.At that time, going east to Jiangning will be as easy as pie.

If this Jiang Ning wins, half of the country will belong to you, the prince, President Wu and the third prince Zhu! "

Liu Jinzhong had finished speaking, and Geng Jingzhong had already stayed there and turned into Geng Dazhong.

He doesn't know what to say anymore?Because their rebellion plan is too clever!Although he has been planning the rebellion for many years, he never thought that the rebellion could be so brilliant... This fucking rebellion is simply a goblin!

Chapter 244 I Must Be Emperor!

"Liu Futai, Zuo Junjun... Do you think this king should follow Yang Qilong's method to rebel?"

Geng Jingzhong, who was greatly inspired after meeting Yang Qilong, was discussing with Liu Bingzheng and Zuo Chunqiu, his two confidantes, how to become a master... how to become a "rebel master" in Yuanshan Gengwang Manor!

"I think it can be done!" Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng smiled, "There is no problem with Wu Sangui's army sweeping Hunan... As long as he is determined, it will be a piece of cake to conquer Yuezhou and then march to Wuchang. The question is whether Wuchang can be conquered? Because the Qing government will definitely defend with all its strength when Wu Sangui enters Wuchang. The gains and losses of Wuchang will determine the ownership of the southeast half. Defeat is certain!"

Zuo Chunqiu also said: "What Liu Futai said is very true! Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and gains and losses are related to the overall situation. And Wuchang is a strong city built by rivers and waters! It is difficult to take Wuchang without a navy.

But Wu Sangui's army came out from Yunnan and Guizhou, and there was only the second Mabu army, and there was no possibility of a navy army.And Shi Lang has already retreated to Jiangxi with Tu Hai... The Qing government will definitely let him take charge of forming the Yangtze River Navy.By the time Wu Sangui's troops approached the Yangtze River, Shi Lang might have stunned the Yangtze River Navy.The Qing army had the strong city of Wuchang to defend, and Shi Lang's Yangtze River Navy to use.It is very likely that Wu Sangui will stop his troops under Wuchang City!

Wu Sangui is already very old, he will be over [-] this year, once he spends a long time under the city of Wuchang, he is afraid of getting sick... If it is a pity, his army will have no leader, and this will be a big trouble.Therefore, the method proposed by Yang Qi is the only method that can quickly defeat the Qing army and secure the southeast half of the tripod. "

"I know what you're talking about..." Geng Jingzhong frowned, "I also know that Yang Qilong's method is good. But according to this method, who will the emperor's throne fall into in the end?"
