Fuzhou City, Geng Wangzhuang, Jingnan Prince's Mansion.
"Ming Zhongtang, brothers are absolutely loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty! The military situation in the front is urgent now, and rescuing troops is like putting out fires. It is logical that brothers should have sent troops long ago, but unfortunately the situation in Guangdong is unstable. Brother, listen to Guangdong
Someone coming over there said that Lu Bu and his son had cut off their braids and changed their clothes, openly restoring the clothes of the Tang and Ming dynasties. Is this happening? Will they and his son take advantage of my Fujian elite troops to go north and launch a surprise attack on the Ming Dynasty?
Zhongtang, you just came from Guangdong, and you are the teacher of that little boy Lu Bu. Can you tell me whether the two fathers and sons have rebelled?"
The person speaking was none other than Geng Jingzhong, and this guy is still acting as a loyal minister to Mingzhu!
But having said that, Geng Jingzhong's performance is still serious. His hairstyle and "costume" still look quite real. His braids are not cut and his forehead is shaved. The prince's robe also has a lot of beads and rubies installed.
The big hat on top was placed on the shelf next to him. The Fujian officials who accompanied him to meet Mingzhu included Governor Liu Bingzheng, Admiral Wang Jinggong, as well as the commander-in-chief Ma Weixing, Zhao Desheng, Wu Shu and others.
As well as several governors and deputy governors under the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, they all have braids that can prove their loyalty and wear standard official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. Even Liu Jinzhong from Chaozhou next door now looks like a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.
There are also many braids, official robes, and court beads, and they are all real!
But a play is a play, no matter how good the play is, Mingzhu will not take it seriously.
Moreover, Mingzhu can also act now!
He was holding a tea bowl and nodding, as if he admired Geng Jingzhong's loyalty. After Geng Jingzhong finished reciting his lines, it was Mingzhu's turn to speak the lyrics. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wang Fuchen, Wang Shikai and the others
Although the two father and son have cut off their braids and restored the clothes of the Tang and Ming Dynasties, and they no longer listen to the court's orders, they can certainly not be considered loyal ministers. They are incomparable to you, the prince. But they did not rebel!"
Geng Jingzhong pretended to be surprised and said: "They all cut off their braids to change their clothes, support troops and separate their own regimes. If they don't listen to orders, is it still a rebellion?"
Mingzhu glanced left and right, and saw the expectant expressions of a group of admirals and generals who were also planning to form an army to seize control. Then she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are all our own people, and we are meeting in private again today.
Let’s not talk about the scenes in the officialdom. The current situation in the world is obvious to all. It is already a time of great strife!
Moreover, it is not the Qing Dynasty that has the upper hand, but the traitor Wu Sangui! Why does the emperor personally sit in Xi'an? Isn't it just to block Wu Sangui's northward and eastward movement? Prince An and the emperor in Jingzhou
Prince Kang of Jiujiang also tried to hold off Wu Yingxiong and Li Zicheng, which showed that this period of great strife was extremely unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. In my opinion, this troubled world is likely to last for a long time.
Get down!"
He took a sip of tea and said: "As for a powerful force who is not qualified to win a world in this round of great strife, what is the wisest thing to do? Just like Wang Fuchen did, support the troops and separate the empire.
, doesn’t listen to orders, but still stands in line before the general trend of the world becomes clear, isn’t it a smart move?
With his army and territory in Guangdong and Guangxi, is he afraid that he will not have one or even four hereditary princes in the future?
If he sends troops to help the imperial court or Wu Sangui now, what good will it do to him? Once the era of great strife is over, who can allow him to separate the Guangdong and Guangdong regimes? Even if he is more powerful than Han Xin, what can he do? Except for his superior achievements that shake the master.
, there is no benefit at all. It is better to sit in Guangdong, watch the world quietly, wait for the situation to become clear, and then follow the example of King Wu Yue and obey the destiny. Wouldn't it be happy?
The Qian family of King Wuyue can be passed down to the country for five generations. If we count from the time when Qian Liu became the military governor of the Tang Dynasty, it would be eighty-six years for the country!
Moreover, after the descendants of the Qian family entered the Song Dynasty, they had to be high-ranking officials, and their wealth and honor had to be passed on. They stayed with the Song Dynasty, and they were rich and noble for hundreds of years!"
At first glance, his words seemed to be excusing Wang Fuchen, but in fact they were persuading Geng Jingzhong and his gang of junior military leaders to lie down!
If you are a smart person, you should learn from Wang Fuchen and the Qian family of Wuyue. Even if you are divided into one party, just don't listen to orders.
But don’t get involved in this world of great contention!
You Fujian military leaders don't have much strength. You can separate a state and half a government. You can comfortably be a local snake and wait for the outcome of the world war before surrendering to the winner. Wouldn't it be better to join the Wuyue Qian family's generational wealth?
?
What if the world's great struggle wants to fight for dozens or even hundreds of years? Then you will make a profit. A hundred years of family and country, one prince, isn't this delicious?
If you don't lie down now and go to "roll" with Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, and the Qing Dynasty, can you win? If you can't win, the lives of the whole family may be lost!
When he said this, the thoughts of several Fujian military leaders who had originally planned to rebel with Geng Jingzhong were shaken.
This Geng Jingzhong looks a bit cunning, and he doesn't look like he can defeat Wu Sangui or Li Zicheng. It seems that there is not much point in following him around, so it is better to just lie down on his own territory.
Look at Wang Fuchen from Guangdong next door. He is so powerful and has been put on the back foot. Moreover, he has divided the territory among several sons early. When he is recruited in the future, he may be four hereditary and irreplaceable princes!
However, the same words had completely different effects when heard by Geng Jingzhong!
He believes that he has a destiny!
If you have destiny, of course you can’t just lie down!
And Wang Fuchen's "lying down" doesn't mean that "the destiny is still there"?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Mingzhu: "Ming Xiang, since Wang Fuchen wants to imitate the King of Wuyue, then brother, I can rest assured. As long as brother's home in Fujian will not be taken over by someone named Wang, then brother will have to
Let’s fight hard for my Qing Dynasty!”
As he spoke, Geng Jingzhong's tone softened and changed into a commanding tone: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wu!"
"The end is here!"
Haicheng Commander-in-Chief Zhao Desheng and Zhangzhou Commander-in-Chief Wu Shu knew that Geng Jingzhong, the disobedient prince, still wanted to rebel. They had no choice but to stand up and salute Geng Jingzhong.
"You two will assist Duke Haicheng to secure Zhangzhou, and at the same time, you must be prepared to support Chaozhou and Quanzhou!" Geng Jingzhong said seriously, "Quan, Zhang, and Chaozhou have always been plotted by the pirates from Da Yuan Island.
Although the pirates have been relatively quiet in the past two years and have not invaded the bandits frequently, the pirate Zheng’s plot to plot the Three Houses will not die. He will probably take advantage of the king’s northward movement to invade the bandits. You two must be careful.
Deal with it without making any mistakes!"
"The general will obey the order."
Zhao Desheng and Wu Shu were both relieved - they didn't want to follow Geng Jingzhong to the Yangtze River Basin to kill people.
In the Yangtze River Basin, there are Yue Le, Li Zicheng, Jie Shu, Wu Guogui, and Wu Yingxiong. Even if Geng Jingzhong were lucky enough to seize Jiangning Mansion, these guys would rush in one after another to grab it!
In comparison, it is much safer to stay in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.
The worst case scenario is that Zheng Jing will call and they will switch sides and continue to mess around.
"Admiral Wang, Mr. Ma Town!"
Wang Jinbao, the admiral of Fujian, and Ma Weixing, the commander-in-chief of Xinghua, also stood up happily after hearing this.
Wang Jinbao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, there is a general guarding Quanzhou. Even if the whole gang of pirates Zheng comes, we don't care whether he comes back or not!"
Ma Weixing also smiled and said: "The general will guard Xinghua and keep it safe. My lord, please feel free to go north!"
Geng Jingzhong shook his head with a smile, and then raised his hand towards one of them in the void: "According to the Holy Order! I have been appointed as the Minister of Yangtze River Relief and Suppression, and the Fujian Navy Land Division, with full power to dispatch and do whatever is convenient! You two are willing to follow me north to kill Li Zicheng.
no?"
Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing felt their hearts sink: This time they will go north to kill Li Zicheng! Or, first fight against the Qing Dynasty, and then be beaten by Jieshu, Li Zicheng, Yue Le, Wu Guogui and Wu Yingxiong in line!
And it’s not okay not to go!
Geng Jingzhong obeyed the imperial edict! He could still act cheaply! What does it mean to act cheaply? It’s not about acting cheaply, but it’s about being able to decide on your own whether to behead certain generals who disobey and disrespect orders!
Moreover, Geng Jingzhong also played a clever trick and let Zhao Desheng and Wu Shu go first. Also crowded in Zhangzhou with these two were Fan Chengmo, the governor of Fujian, and Huang Wu, the Duke of Haicheng. The total strength of the four together was almost ten thousand.
The rest of us happened to be together in Zhangzhou, and seemed to be able to live in peace and stability until the end of the troubled times.
Therefore, they will not stand up for Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing.
"The general is willing to go north with the prince to kill the thieves!"
"The last general is willing to be the pioneer of the king!"
Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing had no choice but to bite the bullet and express their stance.
"Okay!" Geng Jingzhong said with a smile, "I order you two to bring a thousand troops and horses to Fuzhou City within ten days to serve you!"
Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing had no choice but to accept Geng Jingzhong's general order.
Geng Jingzhong raised his hand, pointed to the seat next to him, and asked Wang Jinzhong and Ma Weixing to take a seat. Then he smiled and said to Mingzhu: "Mingxiang, I have mobilized the banner soldiers of the feudal lord and the elite troops from the left and right wings to support the suppression of the town.
Ten thousand, plus Admiral Wang, 2,000 elite soldiers from General Ma, 3,000 elite soldiers from General Liu, and 2,000 elite soldiers from General Chen (Chen Shikai), for a total of 17,000!
Ten days later, we will go north together to Xianxia Pass. Then we will go to Quzhou and Yanzhou in Zhejiang. How about we first escort you, Prime Minister Ming, into Huizhou, and then I will lead the team to Jiangxi?"
Mingzhu smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, everything will be arranged by the prince."
Geng Jingzhong also laughed.
Pearl fell into the trap!
As long as Mingzhu, the imperial minister, goes north with him, Duolong, the governor of Liangjiang, and Echu, the general of Jiangning, will always send some people to Huizhou to welcome him, whether it is one thousand or two thousand, it will always be a meal.
When the time comes, we will first destroy their weapons, and then let Geng Fan's elite soldiers dress up as soldiers from Liangjiang and Chen Shikai's soldiers, and "escort" Mingzhu to Nanjing City together.
As long as Nanjing is captured, Geng Jingzhong's "Clone of the Emperor" will be half finished!
Northern foothills of Yanshan Mountain, Bashang Grassland, Duolonuoer Hall.
Now is the best time of early autumn outside the country. The autumn air is crisp and the sky is clear. The golden grassland is dotted with groups of small yurts. Sheep like white clouds flow on the hillside. If there are not countless backs
Little men with bows and arrows, carrying scimitars, and riding short Mongolian horses, gathered outside the city of Dolenol. The current Bashang grassland is really as beautiful as a grassland style painting.
He immediately stood up high and looked at the entire grassland below. There were no less than 20,000 to 30,000 Mongolian men who were not strong and courageous. They were the direct descendants of the Golden Family and the leaders of the Mongolian Chahar Tribes, Abu Nai, Burni, and Luobuzang.
These three father and son brothers were so distressed that they almost cried.
The reason why they were about to cry was, of course, that the nomadic cavalry from the Chahar tribes in front of them were neither strong nor brave. The impression given by the Mongolians was that they were all stocky men as strong as a tall chest.
