When Wu Sangui's autographed letter was rushed to Sichuan by his subordinates for 600 miles, Geng Jingzhong, who "pretended to be loyal to the spirit", had been defeated by Yang Xiuqing and fled back to Fuzhou in disgrace.

Speaking of this defeat, Geng Jingzhong was really on the verge of tears. Originally, the good thing was to "fake defeat"... His understanding of fake defeat was that the "cannon" sounded and the two armies faced each other.

Then there will be a strong man on each side riding a big horse and gesticulating twice. One of them will pretend to be defeated, slap the horse and run away, and then everyone will escape together.

But what Yang Qilong understood as "fake defeat" was actually "blow up". That is, at night, he took a rocket launcher battalion and sneaked near Geng Jingzhong's camp, set up more than thirty rocket launchers, and then went to Geng Jingzhong's camp.

More than 300 sugar rockets were fired in the camp... How scary those things were! They were flying in the sky with a tail of fire, and they were screaming "Jie Jie Jie" as they flew. Several of them were

Ten of them landed in Geng Jingzhong's camp without any bias, and then exploded like divine thunder from the sky. The explosion killed and injured many people, and also frightened many mules and horses. The whole camp was thrown into chaos.

group!

And Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng were not good people. As soon as the Ming army's rocket launcher attack started, these two people escaped with their men!

Moreover, both of their armies were temporarily expanded. The original number of troops was only 5,000, but now they have brought in many young men from the battalion and retired veterans. It was a bit chaotic. Coupled with the rocket bombing and overnight escape, it was really a mess.

Panic reached the extreme.

When Geng Jingzhong's men saw that they were all running away, they thought that the Ming army was coming to rob the camp, so they also ran with them!

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

But because his own war horse was scared away by the rocket launcher, he had no choice but to escape on a bad horse that was brought from nowhere. But the horse's strength was obviously not good enough, and it failed after carrying Geng Jingzhong for dozens of miles without saying hello.

With a loud thud, he fell down and lay flat, frothing at the mouth, and also caused Geng Jingzhong to fall with a bloody head and a broken right leg.

Fortunately, several of his geshiha were still loyal and did not abandon this useless King of Jingnan and run away. Instead, they carried him with all their lives and ran away.

The place where Geng Jingzhong's troops were "defeated" was on the east bank of the North River of the Rongjiang River in Jieyang - Yang Qilong placed the rocket launcher camp on the west bank to bombard him. But when he ran, he couldn't stop because Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng sent troops

When I arrived, I had no intention of returning to Haiyang County and Raoping County, so I took away all the local officials, civilians and military family members, leaving a "vacuum zone" in the two counties. However, the clan power in these two counties was

They took advantage of the opportunity and filled the "vacuum". These clans were all Chaozhou people. They had suffered enough from Qing Yao, so of course they turned to 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 work on the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, all the cities, forts and fortresses in Haiyang and Raoping counties were closed to Geng Jingzhong's army. All the bridges in the two counties were also demolished and could not be crossed...

..If it were not for the discovery of several wooden boats on the west bank of the Han River, Geng Jingzhong's people almost would not have been able to return to Fujian.

And the most hateful thing is that these Chaozhou people all have guns! And they are still hiding in the woods on both sides of the official road that Geng Jingzhong's troops passed when they fled, in the rice fields, and in the buildings, beating them and firing them randomly!

Although they did not dare to get too close to Geng Jingzhong's men, so their shots were not accurate. But the Geng family's army had already been frightened. When they heard the crackling gunshots, they thought the soldiers were catching up with them, so they ran away.

Although they could run faster, these Geng family soldiers also lost all the weapons, armor, and rations they carried with them!

As a result, Geng Jingzhong's army had already run out of food before they could escape to Fujian. Even the war horses and pack horses were eaten up. Geshiha, who was protecting Geng Jingzhong's escape, also lost his food rations. As a result, Geng Jingzhong had to join the people below.

After starving for a day and a night, I returned to Fenshuiguan at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong... This "fraud" was so "fraud" that it was just like the real thing!

Anyway, Fan Chengmo, who rushed to visit Geng Wangzhuang in Fuzhou after hearing the news, was 100% convinced that Geng Jingzhong had lost the war... If Geng Jingzhong was really defeated, he could rest assured and go to Zhejiang to be the governor.

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

"Fan Zhijun, it's so, so scary. The traitor's thunder arrows are so scary. They not only fly and explode, but also scream... That's a magic! There really is a magic! Woohoo.

.....I almost couldn’t come back!”

As soon as he saw Fan Chengmo, Geng Jingzhong, who was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries, burst into tears - it makes me sad just thinking about it! "Fake defeat" turned into "bombing defeat", and two thousand people were lost inexplicably, and so many more were lost.

Lots of armor and equipment!

What saddens Geng Jingzhong the most is that his military skills seem to be a little bit poor... With this level, is there any hope of becoming emperor?

When Fan Chengmo saw Geng Jingzhong, who was pale and thin, with gauze still wrapped around his head and a splint on one thigh, he was completely convinced that this useless Geng Jingzhong was a true loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

And he still felt a little guilty in his heart - he had previously suspected that Geng Jingzhong was disobedient, and even when he got Emperor Kangxi's order to come to Beijing to see his majesty, he still excused his poor health to stay in Fuzhou, trying to figure it out.

The truth about "anti-songs" and "prophecies".

But now seeing Geng Jingzhong's bearish appearance, Fan Chengmo was finally convinced that it was all a conspiracy of the enemy... Who are the people fighting for the world now? Wu Sangui and Zhu San are so capable! Geng Jingzhong is like them.

You are so weak that you still want to rebel and become the emperor? How is that possible?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when Fan Chengmo was thinking about a secret to praise Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong’s military advisor Zuo Chunqiu hurried to the door and opened his throat.

Report loudly: "Your Majesty... Zhangzhou Haicheng Duke's office urgently reports that the commander-in-chief Zhao Desheng has defected to the pirate Crown Prince Zheng, and welcomes the pirate soldiers to land in Haicheng!"

"What? His surname is Zhao..." As soon as Geng Jingzhong heard this, he immediately struggled to get up, "Here, help me get up quickly, I am going to send troops to rescue Zhangzhou!"

Fan Chengmo thought to himself: "What a suspense! If I were still in office as governor, I would probably die together in Zhangzhou and in the city!"

Thinking of this, Governor Fan hurriedly said to Geng Jingzhong: "My lord, don't worry, Zhangzhou City has strong walls and there are elite soldiers of Duke Haicheng guarding it. Although my husband has been seriously ill for many days, Wu Dutong is in charge of the city.

We can always defend it for a few months. It won't be too late to find a way to break 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 this, and said repeatedly: "Then please leave it to the army..."

...

The time finally arrived at the beginning of January of the twelfth year of Kangxi, when the war was approaching. Wu Sangui’s No. 3 or No. 4 counselor (depending on whether it counted Yang Qilong or not), Wang Shirong, finally arrived in Gansu Province after going through all kinds of hardships.

In Guyuan Prefecture of Pingliang Prefecture, I also entered the Yamen of Wang Fuchen, the admiral's military gate, through the back door. In a secluded courtyard, I met Wang Fuchen, known as "Living Lu Bu" and "Ma Yaozi".

Wang Fuchen, who met Wang Shirong in this courtyard, was of course a rare "loyal minister", but he had not yet decided which family he wanted to be a loyal minister to.

Be loyal to Wu Sangui, his background is so unusual among the Wu family army! There are only 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 and Wu Sangui have lived and died together for decades, and the latter except

No one else can use Wu Sangui.

And he, Wang Fuchen, was born as a slave of Bao Xinzhe Kuyi, so he was too isolated in Wu Sangui's group!

Be loyal to Kangxi, he is too low a slave!

He already had a high position that was disproportionate to his slaves, and his benefactor, Emperor Shunzhi, whom he particularly admired, was no longer alive.

Although the young emperor seemed to value him, this was different from the importance Emperor Shunzhi used 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 and cannot be loyal for a while!
