Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 109

Geng Jingzhong's subordinates saw that they were all fleeing and running wildly, thinking that the Ming army was coming to rob the camp, so they also ran wildly along with them!

Geng Jingzhong had no choice, he couldn't restrain his subordinates at all, and he himself didn't know if Yang Qilong was fooling himself?So just in case, he quickly got on his horse and ran away.

But since his own steed was frightened away by the bazooka, he had to flee on a poor horse he hadn't gotten anywhere.But the horse's strength is obviously not good enough. After running for tens of miles with Geng Jingzhong on its back, it can't do it anymore. It didn't even say hello. Flow, also broke a right leg.

Fortunately, some of his Goshhas were quite loyal, and they didn't throw him, the useless King Jingnan, and ran away by themselves, but carried him desperately to run away.

The place where Geng Jingzhong's troops were "defeated" was on the east bank of the Rongjiang Beixi River in Jieyang—Yang Qilong placed the rocket artillery battalion on the west bank to bombard him.And when he ran, he couldn't stop.Because Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng had no intention of returning to Haiyang County and Raoping County when they sent troops, they took away the local officials, civilians and military relatives, leaving a "vacuum zone" in the two counties.The clan forces in these two counties took advantage of the opportunity to fill the "vacuum".This group of clans are all from Chaozhou, and they have suffered enough to clear up the demons, so of course they are turning towards the "Three Grandsons of Chaozhou".

So when this group of people found out that Geng Jingzhong had been defeated, they all cut off their braids and started to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, all the cities, forts and surrounding buildings in Haiyang and Raoping counties closed their gates to Geng Jingzhong's army.All the bridges in the two counties had their decks demolished and they couldn't cross... If it wasn't for the discovery of a few wooden boats on the west bank of the Han River, Geng Jingzhong's people would almost have been unable to return to Fujian.

And the most hateful thing is that these Chaozhou people have guns!And they were still hiding in the woods, rice fields, and enclosures on both sides of the official road that Geng Jingzhong's troops passed through when they fled.

Although they didn't dare to get too close to Geng Jingzhong's people, so they were not very accurate.But the Geng's army had already been frightened. Hearing the crackling guns, he thought it was the Ming soldiers who were chasing him, and they ran away.And in order to be able to run faster, this group of Geng family soldiers also threw away the weapons, armor, and rations they carried with them all the way!

As a result, Geng Jingzhong's army ran out of food before they fled to Fujian. They even ate up their war horses and pack horses. Geshiha, who was protecting Geng Jingzhong and fleeing for his life, also lost his rations.In the end, Geng Jingzhong had to starve together with the people below, and returned to the Fenshui Pass at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong after starving for a day and a night... This "fraud" defeat was so "fraud" that it was as real as it was!

Anyway, Fan Chengmo, who heard the news and rushed to visit Gengwangzhuang in Fuzhou, believed [-]% that Geng Jingzhong had lost the battle... Geng Jingzhong was really defeated, so he can go to Zhejiang to be the governor with peace of mind.

Because it doesn't matter if Geng Jingzhong loses the battle, as long as he is really loyal to Qing Dynasty.

"Fan Zhijun, too, it's too scary. The rebel's sky thunder arrow is too scary. Not only can it fly and explode, but it can also scream... That's a demon method! There really is a demon method! Woohoo...I almost I can't come back!"

As soon as he saw Fan Chengmo, Geng Jingzhong, who was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, burst into tears - just thinking about it made me sad! "Fake defeat" became "explosion defeat", inexplicably lost 2000 people, and lost so many armors and equipment!

What makes Geng Jingzhong most sad is that his level of military use seems to be so poor... With this level, is there any hope of becoming emperor?

When Fan Chengmo saw Geng Jingzhong, who was pale, thinner, with gauze wrapped around his head and a splint on one thigh, he completely believed that this worthless Geng Jingzhong was a real loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

And he still felt a little guilty—he was still suspecting that Geng Jingzhong had disobedience, and even when he received the imperial decree from Emperor Kangxi announcing his visit to Beijing, he used the excuse of poor health to stay in Fuzhou, trying to find out The truth about "anti-song" and "prophecy".

But seeing Geng Jingzhong's bear now, Fan Chengmo is finally convinced that it was all an enemy's conspiracy... Who are the people fighting for the world now?Wu Sangui and Zhu San's father and son are so capable of fighting!Compared with them, Geng Jingzhong is so weak that he is like scum, so he still wants to rebel and become emperor?How can it be?

Just when Fan Chengmo was thinking about going to a secret meeting to praise Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong's military adviser Zuo Chunqiu hurried to the door, and opened his throat to report loudly: "My lord... the Zhangzhou Haicheng government is in a hurry. According to the report, the general Zhao Desheng defected to the pirate Zheng Shizi, and welcomed the pirate soldiers to land in Haicheng!"

"What? His surname is Zhao..." Geng Jingzhong struggled to get out of bed as soon as he heard this, "Come here, help me get up quickly, I am going to send troops to rescue Zhangzhou!"

Fan Chengmo thought to himself: "It's so dangerous! If I am still serving as the governor, I am afraid that I will die in Zhangzhou and the city together!"

Thinking of this, Governor Fan Da hurriedly said to Geng Jingzhong: "My lord, don't worry, the city of Zhangzhou is high and solid, and there are elite soldiers from Lord Haicheng guarding it. Although the old man has been seriously ill for many days, there is Wu Dutong in the city. It can always be guarded for a few months. It will not be too late to find a way to solve the siege of Zhangzhou after the prince recovers from his injury.

In addition, when I arrive in the capital and see the emperor, I will also explain the situation in Fujian to the emperor... As long as the emperor knows your loyalty, he will definitely not ignore Fujian. "

Geng Jingzhong was of course grateful when he heard the words, and said repeatedly: "Then please leave the army..."

……

The time finally arrived at the beginning of January in the 12th year of Kangxi, when the new year came.Wu Sangui's No. [-] does not know whether it is No. [-] (it depends on whether Yang Qilong is counted). Wang Shirong, the counselor, finally went through untold hardships to reach Guyuan Prefecture in Pingliang Prefecture, Gansu Province, and entered the Admiral Wang Fuchen's house through the back door. Yamen, in a secluded courtyard, met Wang Fuchen, known as "Living Lu Bu" and "Horse Kite".

And Wang Fuchen, who met Wang Shirong in this courtyard, is of course a rare "loyal minister", but he has not yet made up his mind to be a loyal minister for anyone.

Be loyal to Wu Sangui, his background is too different in the Wu family army!There are two types of people leading the troops in the Wu family army, one is the old brother Guan Ning, and the other is the new brother who surrendered in Nanming.The former lived and died with Wu Sangui for decades, while the latter would not be used by anyone except Wu Sangui.

And he, Wang Fuchen, was born as a slave in Kuyi, the Baoxin Zhe, so he was too isolated in Wu Sangui's group!

Be loyal to Kangxi, his generation is too low!

He already has a high position that is not commensurate with his slaves, and his benefactor, Emperor Shunzhi, who especially admired him, is long gone.

And although the little emperor looked at him very seriously, it was different from the importance that Emperor Shunzhi gave to him.Emperor Shunzhi regarded him as a good servant of his family, while Emperor Kangxi regarded him as an important minister... This is the difference between inside and outside!

As for the third prince Zhu who is loyal to Guangdong... he is too far away, so he won't be able to be loyal for a while!

Thinking of this, Wang Fuchen sighed, and looked at Wang Shirong, who had a good relationship with him, "Why are you? I'm sorry! Come here... Let me take down this anti-thief lobbyist!"

Chapter 252 Let's go to Beijing together!

"Take it, take it? You, you bastard Lu Bu, you don't show loyalty!"

As soon as Wang Shirong heard that Wang Fuchen had ordered him to be taken down, Wang Shirong immediately became impatient, and started cursing while jumping around.

Didn't he work so hard from Yunnan to Gansu to build a way for his good friend Wang Fuchen to join the president?

This Wang Fuchen didn't know what was good or bad, and wanted someone to take him!What use is he for?It must be dedicated to Emperor Kangxi!

This is killing people!

Wang Fuchen was also quite guilty. Seeing his good friend jumping, he had to explain with a bitter face: "Old Wang, it's not that I have to sell you, it's that the Guyuan Prefecture where I am located is surrounded by loyal soldiers and horses. And Uh, this admiral's army doesn't have much foundation in Shaanxi and Gansu, if you really want to raise troops, the people below may not follow, so I have to use you to win the trust of the little emperor..."

As he spoke, Wang Fuchen waved his hand, and Wang Jizhen, Wang Fuchen's son, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, rushed forward with two Goshhas and grabbed Wang Shirong.Counselor Wang was about to become a prisoner, so he laughed wildly.

"Hahaha... Wang, you bastard Lu Bu, your wishful thinking is wrong, it's useless for you to arrest me and send me to Beijing, the little emperor can't believe you!"

Wang Fuchen laughed: "How can it be useless? You were sent by Wu Sangui to persuade me to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. You must have Wu Sangui's personal letter with you, right? This is the evidence!"

"Hahaha..." Wang Shirong laughed so hard that his jaw almost dropped, "I'm carrying a letter, you let me go, I'll show you the letter and you'll know!"

"Then give him a break first."

Wang Fuchen is a general who has won the three armies bravely!He wasn't worried that Wang Shirong, a scholar, could pull out a sharp knife to kill him, so he asked someone to let him go first.

And Wang Shirong did not bring a sharp knife, he saw him take out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Wang Fuchen's son with a smile, and said, "Take it to your unyielding father... "

Seeing Wang Shirong's schadenfreude expression, Wang Fuchen also felt that something was wrong. After taking the envelope from his son, he immediately tore open the seal and took out the letter inside to read.

It is really written by Wu Sangui!

Take a quick look...

Wang Fuchen quickly held the letter paper, glanced through the ten lines at first, and then shouted: "What? What...Wu Sangui made me pretend to be a loyal minister? He, when did he become so cunning? Is this still Wu Sangui? Who's the idea? For him?"

This time, Wu Sangui's letter to Wang Fuchen contained a lot of "dry goods", and he directly mentioned the clever trick of "pretending to be a loyal minister to deceive Kangxi".

Can Wang Fuchen not be dumbfounded now?

Can he send this letter to Kangxi with Wang Shirong?What would Kangxi think when he saw Wang Shirong after reading the letter?

Do you think that Wang Fuchen has arrested Wang Shirong, who doesn't know the truth, to pretend to be a loyal minister?

Moreover, Wu Sangui also asked him to hand over his military power in the letter to serve as an imperial guard in Beijing... If he was really willing to hand over his military power, Emperor Kangxi would trust him, so why would Wu Sangui's letter and Wang Shirong be needed?

He, Wang Fuchen, was not from the Guan Ning Army, he was from the Datong Ming Army plus the coated slaves.Moreover, he was promoted by the first emperor, and he was not on the same side as Wu Sangui at all.

"Does Yang Qilong know?" Wang Shirong smiled and fooled Wang Fuchen and said, "Did you read the announcement that Xuan Ye wanted to arrest Junshi Yang? He couldn't catch him anymore, because Junshi Yang had already arrived at the President's side... He was sure about it." You dare not raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, so you asked the President to write this letter. This is your only way out now!

I said, no, it was Master Yang who said it right? "

Of course Yang Qilong's name, Wang Fuchen, knows!That is the number one most wanted criminal in the Qing Dynasty today, and his name has surpassed the third prince Zhu!

And the people below have spread it all over the world, what is the three harmony of the dragon, the two get one, and the world can be safe!

Wang Fuchen dared not believe what such an awesome military adviser said.After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that there was only one way out for him now, which was to go to Beijing to be Emperor Kangxi's attendant.

After he handed over the military power, those slaves who were jealous of him naturally could no longer say that he was unfaithful.And after he arrived in Beijing, Emperor Kangxi certainly couldn't just leave him alone.Such a loyal servant, who is especially good at fighting, how could he not want it?

He must be made a first-class imperial guard... After he served Kangxi as a guard for a few days, he would truly transform from a slave of Shunzhi to a slave of Kangxi.

If he is released to be a general, it means that he is a good slave, so he has won the trust of the little emperor.No matter how jealous others are, they dare not say anything more, or they will question the master's vision.

And now that the war is fierce and the war is in danger, it is impossible for Master Kangxi to keep him by his side for too long.So he will soon be entrusted with important tasks, and he will be sent to the front line to fight against Wu Sangui or the third prince Zhu.

At that time, he will have the "freedom of loyal ministers" - the freedom to be loyal ministers to anyone!

"High!" Wang Fuchen sighed, "Junshi Yang is indeed the number one military division in the world!"

Wang Shirong smiled and said, "Let's go, Ma Yaozi, let's go to Beijing together!"

……

Ganzhou Fucheng in Jiangxi Province is now a refugee camp for Guangdong officials, no, it should be a camp for difficult officials.From the beginning of December in the 11th year of Kangxi, loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty who came from all over Guangdong kept coming in groups.Go to Kong Sizhen, Princess Dingnan of Heshuo, to cry, and report by the way.

This Kong Sizhen was the first one to come to Ganzhou among the group of dignitaries in Guangdong and Guangxi.She originally wanted to make persistent efforts and run back to Beijing in one breath.But who knew that she received an edict from Emperor Kangxi just after she arrived in Ganzhou Mansion, asking her to stay in Ganzhou Mansion temporarily and assist Dingnan General Sun Yanling to clean up the remnant soldiers and officials who ran out from Guangdong and Guangxi.

Although Kong Sizhen didn't want to stay in Ganzhou Mansion, which was so close to Guangdong, but the king's fate was difficult.She also had no choice but to put up her spirits, and put up the signboards of Princess Dingnan Mansion and General Dingnan Mansion in Ganzhou City—it was said that they were the Princess Mansion and the General Mansion, but they were actually the Dingnan Mansion left by her Ama when they were put together. Fan.

If it wasn't for her man, Sun Yanling, who was too disappointing, the new Dingnan King would have already been appointed!

And Emperor Kangxi's arrangement to let Dingfan stay in Ganzhou Prefecture also seemed to have a little stabilizing effect.

At least the remnants of the defeated generals and officials who ran away from Guangdong were mostly stopped by Kong Sizhen's Ding Fan in Ganzhou Mansion - only Tu Hai, Shi Lang, Sun Sike, Ma Xiong and the seven or eight thousand "elite soldiers" who followed them , not long after arriving at Ganzhou Mansion, he was ordered to go to Wuchang and Yuezhou to deploy defenses, and he set off in mid-December.

As for the other officials and disabled soldiers who came to Ganzhou from Guangdong, including Kong Sizhen's man Sun Yanling, they were all left in Ganzhou to "wait for the order"...but no one knows whether the "order" came first, or whether it was the Northern Expedition Ming army first?

Xue Zhang and Feng Mingshan, old acquaintances of Zhu Heqi, have also gone to Ganzhou Mansion, and both of them have already opened vacancies... One of them is Guangdong Xuezheng, and the other is a Chaozhou Tongzhi who has been dismissed long ago.Now Guangdong is "disappeared", so what's the matter with them?

Fortunately, the two men still had some savings when they were in office, and they were quick to see the opportunity. Before the news of Tuhai's defeat came, they had quietly sent their family confidants to send their savings to the Ganzhou government.

But what they didn't expect was that Emperor Kangxi actually asked Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling to stop them "Guangdong officials" in Ganzhou Mansion and not let them leave... It seems that this means that when the Ming army came, Give them another chance to "fulfill the responsibility of guarding the soil"!

Because Xue Zhang and Feng Mingshan had offended Zhu Heqi before, they were the most disturbed among a group of officials who were blocked in Ganzhou Mansion.The two of them didn't want to deal with others, so they got together when they had nothing to do, and drank their sorrows in the yard they rented together.

On the day approaching the New Year's Eve, Xue Zhang was in his "rental courtyard", tasting the "Chaozhou White" that had just appeared on the market in Ganzhou Prefecture, when he heard footsteps outside the house, and then Xue Zhang's old man The voice of his subordinate Fengming Mountain: "Xuetai, Xuetai, great joy... Liu Zongrong's soldiers have arrived! Liu Zongrong's soldiers have arrived!"

Chapter 253 Princess, I heard that you and Wu Yingxiong have a good relationship!

"Liu Zongrong? That Liu Zongrong?"

Xue Zhang, who had just drank a little "Chaozhou White", seemed a little confused. He didn't know who Liu Zongrong was?

"Liu Jinzhong!" Feng Mingshan said as he took a pot of tea that had already cooled down, and poured a large bowl for Xue Daxuetai, "Xuetai, sober up first."

Feeling a little dizzy, Xue Zhang actually took a sip from the tea bowl... a bit chilly!

But it did wake up a lot.

"Mingshan, who do you think came to Ganzhou Mansion?"

"Liu Jinzhong!" Feng Mingshan said with a beaming eyebrow, "He came from the south with more than [-] people and is about to enter the city. General Dingnan and Princess Dingnan have already brought people out... Now Well, our turning point is here!"

"Our turning point?" Xue Zhang still didn't understand, "Liu Jinzhong has only a few thousand people... Now the 2 people brought here should include many family members and civilian husbands. With this small force, it is impossible to counterattack Guangdong , it is a blessing to be able to defend Ganzhou Mansion. What chance do we have?"

"Xuetai!" Feng Mingshan stomped his feet, "You haven't figured it out yet? That's Liu Jinzhong! You have worked with him in Chaozhou for many years, and you don't know who he is?"

"Liu Jinzhong is..." Xue Zhang was still a little confused.

Fengmingshan simply pointed it out, "Xuetai, don't you know that this Liu Jinzhong has been thinking about Daming all the time? He was born in the Yongwei camp of Emperor Chongzhen, a close minister of the emperor!

Later, he mixed with Huang Degong, one of the four towns in Jiangbei... That Huang Degong was also a loyal martyr who died for Ming Dynasty! "

"Mingshan, what are you talking about?" Xue Zhang was frightened by Fengmingshan's words, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat and woke up from the wine.

Feng Mingshan didn't care, "Xuetai, don't you understand? Now it's the troubled times where Ming, Qing, Wu and Three Kingdoms are fighting each other... we've caught up!"

"Ah..." Xue Zhang's face was a little ugly, "We have indeed caught up with the troubled times! Mingshan, do you think that Liu Jinzhong has secretly taken refuge with Wu Sangui and the third prince Zhu?"

"It's Wu Sangui or the third grandson of Zhu!" Feng Mingshan corrected Xue Zhang's statement, "It's hard to say who he will turn to, but one thing is certain, he will not be loyal to the Qing Dynasty."

Xue Zhang was silent for a while, then nodded.

He and Liu Jinzhong have worked together in Chaozhou for several years, so of course he can feel that the emotions in this person are not right.And there is a label on him - the Bravery Battalion!It is equivalent to pasting the words "Anti-Qing and Fuming" on the forehead.

Da Qing can only trust him to be a ghost!

If Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong's father and son hadn't strongly recommended him, he would definitely not be able to be the commander-in-chief.

Of course, it was also because of the kindness of the Geng family that Liu Jinzhong didn't defect and return to the third prince Zhu.

But this time he didn't run back to Fujian, but sneaked to Ganzhou Mansion, which probably shows that the Geng family's kindness to him has been "exhausted".

Feng Mingshan said to Xue Zhang: "Xuetai, this is also our chance!"

"Our chance? What chance?"

"A chance to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!" Feng Mingshan gritted his teeth, "Xuetai, we are all familiar with the inside information of Guangdong. In my opinion, in this world, there is either three points, or a confrontation between the north and the south, or the anti-Qing and Fuming! Are we right? Is it time for a good minister to choose a master?"

Xue Zhang frowned when he heard this, "We offended the third grandson of Zhu..."

Feng Mingshan shook his head, and said solemnly: "Xuetai, we are the ones who... created the third grandson of Zhu!"

yes!Xue Zhang remembered that the identity of the third grandson of Zhu seemed to have been created by Fengming Mountain!

"You..." Xue Zhang thought about it again, "Aren't you afraid that he will kill someone to silence you?"

Feng Mingshan smiled and said: "Xuetai, this matter is not easy? Let's divide into two, you take Liu Jinzhong's letter to vote for Wu Sangui, and I take this Liu Zongrong's letter to vote for Zhu Heqi! In this way, both of us will have a share of glory and wealth, and we can exchange news in the future!"

This method is not bad!

Kill people to silence the mouth, kill people only if they can silence the mouth!It's useless to kill if you can't silence your mouth.Moreover, the legal system of the third prince Zhu is not only effective in Guangdong, but also effective in Wu Sangui.If this legal system is gone, and Wu Sangui discovers a "Prince Zhu" himself, then Zhu and Qi will be in great trouble.

Feng Mingshan said again: "Xuetai, a man is living in troubled times, seeking wealth and honor in danger, fight for the title of Marquis! The officials estimate that there will be a lot of fighting between Wu Sangui and Zhu Heqi.

But does Wu Sangui really know how capable Zhu Hechi is?Do Zhu Heqi know the details of Wu Sangui?We can eat both! "
