Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"Go to Longhu Mountain to offer incense?" Geng Jingzhong was taken aback again, "Since when did the emperor become Taoist?"

"I've believed it a long time ago," Liu Bingzheng said with a smile, "I heard from my brother (Liu Bingquan) that the emperor started to teach Taoism after the Daoist Qiling from Longhu Mountain offered the Heavenly Thunder Immortal Technique."

"It seems to be the case," Geng Jingzhong nodded, "I've also heard of it... It seems that the alchemy was made in the imperial dining room, and the water was taken away."

Liu Bingzheng added: "A Hanlin of Daoism was also set up in the Imperial Academy."

Geng Jingzhong frowned and said, "Then what should we do now? Should we..."

As he spoke, Geng Jingzhong's shrewd face revealed a trace of murderous intent.

"Let's play by ear!" Zuo Chunqiu said, "The emperor didn't come here lightly, but Tu Hai and Jie Shu brought an army of [-] to [-] to protect him..." He paused, "Maybe it's a scam!"

"Fraud?" Geng Jingzhong was startled, "He wants to take me down?"

Geng Jingzhong's "Da Du Tong" Zeng Yangxing said: "My lord, we have [-] elite soldiers... why don't we call them all to Anren County to pick them up, and then invite the emperor to come to the military parade. If the emperor refuses, it means there is a fraud." ! If the emperor agrees, why not do one thing and keep on doing two things, and eradicate this beast for the world in one fell swoop!"

Geng Jingzhong nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Chapter 294 Big brother, you are crazy!

After Geng Jingzhong made up his mind, he immediately began to dispatch troops.At this time, his army was led by Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, Liu Yan, Wang Jin, Wang Jingong, Zhao Desheng, and Ma Weixing.

Among them, Wang Jingong and Zhao Desheng were stationed inside Anren City and outside Anren City.The remaining five capitals are all stationed in Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture, where Yingtan Town is located.

In addition, all the family members of Geng Jingzhong's subordinates were also gathered in Yingtan Town by him - he is so smart, of course he knows that he will detain other people's family members, so that they will work hard!

So this time, Geng Jingzhong, who was going to do something big this time, still left behind his most confidant guard, the 5000 people led by Bai Xianzhong, to guard Yingtan Town, watching closely the tens of thousands of family members crowded there.

Then he led a total of 2 people from Zeng Yangxing, Liu Yan, Wang Jin, and Ma Weixing to Xingren County.

Xingren County is located on the edge of the Jinjiang River. It was originally a small county, not as big as Yingtan Town at the foot of Longhu Mountain, so of course it couldn't hold so many soldiers.

Therefore, Wang Jincai, who was stationed in the city, prepared the camp for Geng Jingzhong early, and also vacated some barracks for Zeng Yangxing's troops.Ask Geng Jingzhong and Zeng Yangxing to lead some troops into the city, while the rest of the troops are stationed outside the city.

Geng Jingzhong didn't care about such an arrangement, and now his mind is full of whether he can catch that "Holy Master of Hemp Yan"...

So after the travel and dust rushed to Anren, as they entered the city, they asked Wang Jingong and Geng Zhaozhong who came out to greet him: "How is it? Where is the emperor? The one who came... is really the emperor?"

"If you go back to the prince, the emperor is still in Huangqiu, slave..."

When Wang Jingong said this, he hesitated for a moment, but Geng Zhaozhong who was next to him immediately took up the topic and said: "Brother, can the emperor still have fakes? Wang Dutong, Zhao Dutong and I went to meet him."

"But didn't Wu Sangui's army arrive in Dangyang?" Geng Jingzhong was so shrewd, of course he felt that something was wrong, "Why did the emperor come to Jiangxi at this time?"

"Wu Sangui has been blocked by more than 8 people led by Chaowugong Zhuo Zhongtang and Dorobeile Dong E on Xianglu Mountain in Dangyang County. , it’s all up to you, brother. You said that if the emperor doesn’t come to Jiangxi, where else can he come?”

Geng Zhaozhong's words are of course half-truths and half-false.

It is now September 27th, and the situation he knows happened three days ago, that is, on September [-]th, at the front line of Dangyang.

At that time, Wu Sangui's army was indeed still in the area of ​​Xianglu Mountain...but it was not blocked by Zhuobutai and Dong E on Xianglu Mountain, but Dong E was besieged on Xianglu Mountain, and then they fought with Zhuo Bu on the plain east of Xianglu Mountain Tai's army started a fierce battle.

It turned out that on the 23rd, the stupid Dong E discovered that there were only a small number of Wu troops stationed on Xianglu Mountain, which could overlook Zhangshui from a condescending height, so he led 2 people and rushed up.

Then it was besieged from the west, south, and north by the [-] troops commanded by Wu Yingqi.There is no siege in the east...but Dong E dare not escape from the east of Xianglu Mountain!

His 2-strong enemy, three times his own, surrounded the high ground of Xianglu Mountain on three sides, and he could still persist relying on the terrain. Once he gave up the high ground and fled, he would not be chased to death by the enemy?

Wu Sangui's army is not without cavalry!

But the battle of "Shoushan" is also very difficult.Because Dong E's army came from Jingmen Prefecture in a hurry after learning that Dangyang was in an emergency, and did not carry many artillery pieces.But Wu Sangui had a waterway to transport heavy weapons, so he pulled in hundreds of bronze cannons and bombarded Xianglu Mountain endlessly.

Moreover, they continued to send hammer-throwing soldiers to attack the high ground of Xianglu Mountain, causing Dong E to suffer heavy losses!

Dong E's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he didn't dare to run, so he had to ask Zhuobutai for help, but Zhuobutai didn't dare to give up Dong E's more than 1 people, so he had to bite the bullet and lead more than 5 troops to help.As a result, they were blocked by Wu Sangui on the plain less than ten miles away from Xianglu Mountain. After Wu Sangui found out that Zhuobutai was coming, he changed his strategy, surrounded Xianglu Mountain with 2 people, and then led an army of [-] to go down to the village. , let Zhuobutai attack.Zhuobutai was very sad now, he could see Dong E's banner, but he couldn't touch it.And the number of Wu Sangui's army in power is about the same as his, but he just can't chew it.

And to give up on Dong E... Wu Sangui would probably chase after him!

If it was a struggle with Wu Sangui, his [-]-thousand-thousand troops would still be able to persist, but Dong E on Xianglu Mountain had no logistical supplies, so how many days could he last with the rations he brought with him when he dispatched troops?

Once Dong E died of starvation, Wu Sangui's 8 or [-] people rushed forward, and Zhuobutai probably couldn't bear it.Even if he was able to bring most of the troops back to Jingmen, he would still lose Dong E and [-] of Dong E's men, and Zhuobutai himself would have to lose [-] to [-].Then most of Jingmen Prefecture won't be able to keep it...

In this first battle, Wu Sangui defeated 4 people, and then left Jingmen Prefecture. In the next battle of Huguang, you let the Qing army continue to fight like this?

"Brother, I think this Dong E is probably going to starve to death on Xianglu Mountain! He was besieged on the 23rd, and he is [-] today. It has been seven days! But if you give Zhuobutai another ten days, he won't be able to move him." Wu Sangui's [-] main force... Now the emperor can only count on our family's [-] people to cross Jiangxi to attack Hunan.

If we can conquer Changsha and Hengzhou, Wu Sangui will conquer Jingmenzhou and Hanyang in Jiangbei.Otherwise, Xiangyang Mansion would have to be ordered to take down by him.It would really embarrass the emperor... If our family wants to make such a great contribution, let alone a king of Hunan, even the king of Jiangxi can get it from the emperor!In the future, Hunan and Jiangxi will really be our territory. "

In Jingnan Wang Xingyuan in Anren County, Geng Zhaozhong was still talking freely, talking about his latest battle situation and his own analysis, it was really beaming!

The situation is very good, of course it is for the Geng family!

The ready-made victory is right in front of you, who wouldn't be tempted?

Geng Jingzhong was also very happy to hear that, thinking: "As long as I win Kangxi, Jiangxi will be mine, and then even if I can't win Jiangning, I can still occupy Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, and maybe even control part of Fujian's territory."

Just as he thought of this, someone came in from the outside in a hurry, knelt down to Geng Jingzhong, and then loudly reported: "My lord... Your Majesty is here!"

what?

That's it?how so fast

Geng Jingzhong was taken aback, the Hongmen Banquet is not ready yet!

"Where are you?" Geng Zhaozhong asked.

"It's almost outside the west gate of Anren..."

What does Kangxi want to do?

Geng Jingzhong asked again: "Bring, how many people did you bring?"

"3 people...the emperor has brought [-] banner soldiers to the outside of Anren City!"

"What?" Geng Jingzhong stood up abruptly, with expressions of horror, surprise and disbelief all over his face.

Why did Kangxi suddenly take [-] Banner soldiers to the outside of Anren City? What was he doing?

"No! Kangxi is here to arrest me!" Geng Jingzhong suddenly shouted, "Hurry up, beat the drums and gather the generals..."

"Brother, you are crazy!" Geng Zhaozhong suddenly said at this time.

"No, I'm not crazy!" Geng Jingzhong also answered casually.

"My lord, you are really crazy!" Wang Jingong said regretfully at this time, "My lord, I have read the letter you wrote to Liu Jinzhong... the paper is full of crazy words! My lord, you are insane. It's over, it needs to be cured!"

"My letter to Liu Jinzhong..." Geng Jingzhong's head buzzed, knowing that something big was going to happen, so he stared at Geng Zhaozhong and Wang Jingong with wide eyes, "What do you want to do?"

Geng Zhaozhong smiled, and took out a book with a yellow cover from his sleeve pocket, "This is the emperor's letter, brother, how wise the emperor is! He knows that you work hard day and night for the country and the people, and you are crazy to work hard, so Just let me be the king of Jingnan for you. You can go back to Beijing to recuperate and treat your illness... how about it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jingong slammed a cup onto the ground. After a bang, he saw dozens of Goshhas in ambush rushing out, and surrounded the lobby where Geng Jingzhong and others were. Surrounded!

Chapter 295 Capture Kang Mazi alive and overthrow the Qing Dynasty (1)

Jiangxi, Raozhou Prefecture, Huangqiu port, a high imitation of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

This mansion occupies the middle of Huangqiubu town, the yellow dragon flag symbolizing the emperor of the Qing Dynasty flutters in the wind, and the imperial guards in yellow jackets stand on three floors outside.Jiangxi local officials, complete with tops, gowns, and pearls, stood in a pile in the yard of the mansion with their hands down, and none of them dared to make a sound!

This is what Geng Jingzhong and his officials and aides saw when they were escorted here... All these people were frightened and shocked.

The Qing emperor really came to Jiangxi!

This is really incredible!

As for Geng Jingzhong himself, his heart is ashamed...he is dead!

What did Kangxi come all the way to Jiangxi for?Isn't it just to kill him, the traitor?He has already been captured alive, and the next step is of course Ling Chi's execution.

At the thought of Ling Chi, Geng Jingzhong burst into tears.

Together with the crying, a very majestic voice came from a large room guarded by the yellow jackets: "Is it the mad king Geng Jingzhong?"

Geng Jingzhong was taken aback, the voice didn't sound like Kangxi's.

But then Tu Hai's voice sounded from inside: "If you go back to the emperor, Geng Zhaozhong has brought his crazy brother Geng Jingzhong here, do you want to see him?"

Except for Liu Bingzheng, Geng Jingzhong's subordinates are not familiar with Emperor Kangxi, and they met him when he came to Beijing to meet his majesty.In fact, it's not a real "seeing", but just lying on the ground and knocking your head a few times to finish the job. In all likelihood, there will be no chance to see the ashen face.

But they all know Tuhai, and when they come to Beijing to meet, they have to prepare a little gift for Tutang and the other Zhongtang...

Moreover, when Tu Hai was defeated in Guangdong and fled to Jiangxi, Geng Jingzhong also sent Zeng Yangxing and many of his men to guard Tu Hai in front of the Jiangxi Army, and sent a group of Fujian sailors for Tu Hai's general Shi Lang.

So everyone is familiar with Tu Hai. Now that they hear Tu Hai's voice and words, they all believe that the emperor has really come to Jiangxi.

The emperor spoke again, "Let Geng Zhaozhong lead his brother's men in to kowtow first...Geng Jingzhong is crazy, and I don't blame them for this. I know they are loyal, and I will serve Geng Zhaozhong well in the future." No. Anyway, they are both Geng Zhongming’s grandson and Geng Jimao’s son, they’re all the same.”

Tu Hai immediately offered flattery, "Your Majesty, you are really a benevolent king!"

When the people outside the room heard what the "emperor" inside said, they let go of their hearts.They all moved a few steps to the side, so as to draw a clear line with Geng Jingzhong, the mad king.

When Geng Jingzhong saw this scene, his heart became even colder, and he thought: "I've only been crazy for a while, and you're just like this..."

At this moment, an eunuch holding a whisk came out of the room, and said in a drake voice: "Who are the subordinates of the Mad King? What are they all called?"

"Eunuch, we are all subordinates of the Mad King..."

All Geng Jingzhong's subordinates gathered together, nodded and bowed, and introduced themselves.

The eunuch waited for them to introduce themselves one by one, then smiled and said: "The emperor said, Geng Jingzhong is crazy, it has nothing to do with you, you all come with our house!"

After hearing this, the servants felt relieved, so they followed the eunuch into the house.

The light in the room was very dim, and the Geng family generals and Geng Xuan officials who walked in all had ghosts in their hearts, so they didn't dare to take a closer look at the man who sat high and wore a long robe and mandarin jacket.

After the Geng family generals and officials kowtowed their heads and pleaded guilty, they didn't even dare to look at "Kangxi". They all lay there with their buttocks up high, as if they were about to be punished.

Then I heard "Kangxi" say, "Geng Jingzhong's madness is a disease. It's not easy for you to follow a madman. Why do you blame me? Who will take it seriously when you coax a madman? Let me tell you, now it's time to exterminate Wu Sangui." At the critical moment of the rebels, Wu Sangui and Zhuobutai are facing each other in Dangyang, and it is difficult to distinguish who is the best. But Wu Sangui's elite soldiers and generals are all concentrated in Dangyang.

At this time, as long as I lead you from Raozhou, through Nanchang, Linjiang, Yuanzhou, and enter Hunan through Chaling Pass, you will enter the land of no one.Are you willing to follow me to grab this great achievement? "

"Slave waits for you!"

"The servant is willing to lead the way for His Majesty!"

"The slave is willing to pacify Wu Mieming for His Majesty..."

"The slave is willing to die for the emperor!"

As soon as the words of "Emperor Kangxi" fell, the room he was in was suddenly full of slavery.

"Okay! You really are a good slave, Geng Zhaozhong!"

"Kangxi" first praised the servants, and then named Geng Zhaozhong.

"The slave is here!" Geng Zhaozhong quickly answered loudly.

"From now on, you will be the King of Jingnan!" Gao Fang Kangxi said, "There is no need to go back to Fujian... When Changsha, Hunan is conquered, put the palace there. I will make you the governor of Hunan again! "

Although this Emperor Kangxi is a fake, the seal he gave to Geng Zhaozhong is true——Emperor Kangxi personally granted Changsha, Hunan Province to Geng Zhaozhong as a vassal in Xiangyang Mansion, and even granted him the title of Hunan Province steward.

Now the fake Kangxi Fuquan is just repeating what the real Kangxi said!

And Kangxi is not coaxing Geng Zhaozhong to play. Although this Emperor Kangxi likes to settle accounts after the autumn, isn't the queen of autumn not here yet?So now not only can't settle accounts, but also have to coax those "shared loyal ministers"... As long as the 4 to [-] thousand people under Geng Jingzhong are willing to fight hard in Hunan, then everything will not be a problem.

In addition, Kangxi is not an unreasonable person. If you want to settle accounts after Qiuhou, you can't settle with Geng Zhaozhong!

He is a real good minion!

If Kangxi wants to settle accounts, he has to settle with Geng Jingzhong and those bad minions who went "crazy" with Geng Jingzhong!

At this time, Geng Zhaozhong began to show his loyalty again, sobbing and shouting loudly: "The emperor entrusts the slaves to seal the border, grants the slaves the feudal lord, regards the slaves as confidantes, treats the slaves as high as the sky and the sea deep, and the slaves will never fail to bear the holy grace, even if His body was smashed to pieces, his brains were smashed, and he wanted to conquer Hunan for His Majesty!"

After saying this, he looked back, and the Geng family generals and officials behind him also kowtowed and shouted: "Your kindness is so great, a slave waits for ten thousand deaths to die!"

"Okay! They are all my good servants," said the high imitation Emperor Kangxi, "Let's fight hard with the new King Jingnan... I will not treat heroes badly!"

"Long live my emperor, long live..."

Weeping with gratitude, but at the same time guilty, the good servants of the Qing Dynasty shouted long live together.

……

Ganzhou Prefecture, the county seat of Ganxian County.

Surrounded by three waters, this castle is known as the most difficult to conquer in the world. Now it has become the city in the pocket of the third prince and grandson of Zhu who rose from Guangdong without bloodshed.

The national flag chosen by Zhu Heqi for the Ming Empire—the golden flag with the sun and the moon on a red background is flying above the majestic city of Ganzhou.

The streets in Ganzhou City are as bustling as ever.Merchants and city residents who have already cut their braids, but most of them are still wearing Qing Dynasty-style robes, come and go on the bustling streets.

The "human-killing Confucianists" who came from Guangdong with the Northern Expedition army wore their commoner clothes and corner scarves, carried their long swords and copper hammers, or posted notices in the streets and alleys, or stopped men wearing hats to check if there were any leftovers. braid?Or loudly announcing the policy of the new Ming Dynasty to the passing people-this Ming Dynasty is actually a new dynasty!What is implemented is not the same as the Ming Dynasty that has perished, but to "make the world a public" and to "great harmony in the world".

Suddenly, the bell of horseshoes rang, and a group of knights passed by the street like the wind. The first knight was a Ming army knight wearing a long coat with arrow sleeves and a flying saucer helmet on his head. command flag.You can tell at a glance that there is an urgent military matter!The people on the street dodged one after another, making way for a straight passage leading to the city center.
