Although the war situation in Fujian Province changed due to the civil strife of the Zheng family, the Ming army already had a clear advantage, especially the impact of defeating the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, which tilted the balance of the war towards the Ming army.
In Fujian, there are three Qing armies with relatively strong combat effectiveness: Geng Jingzhong's vassal troops, Tong'an Commander-in-Chief Shi Lang's navy, and Zhangzhou Haicheng Gong Huang Wu's troops. Now only two of them are out of three, and Geng Jingzhong's vassal troops are first assisting Guangdong.
One part was wiped out during the operation, and a lot of losses were suffered in the battle with the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. Their strength was reduced by nearly half, and it was no longer possible to resist the Ming army on both land and water alone.
The defeat of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia undoubtedly prompted the Qing army, which was waiting and hesitating, to make the final decision. Hope was gone and the backbone was about to collapse. Why not consider themselves and their wealth?
In March, the Eastern Route Army of the Ming Army attacked Tong'an, and the Qing Tong'an general Hua Shanglan surrendered to the city. Soon, the general Haicheng also changed his banner and surrendered in the face of the menacing Ming army; in April, the Qing general Wang Fanxi made a plan
He killed Lai Yu, the guard of Quanzhou, and Wang Jin, the Geng fan general, surrendered anyway.
The West Route Army led by Ma Bao successively recaptured Dehua, Yongchun, Datian, Yong'an and other counties. The attacks of the two armies were directed at Geng Jingzhong's hometown of Fuzhou.
………….
Is Geng Jingzhong shrinking his troops? Reading the latest battle report, Zhu Yongxing made a judgment. This is also the main reason why the Ming army is making rapid progress. Judging from the annihilation of enemies and the surrender of Qing soldiers and generals, Geng Fan's forces are getting less and less.
Shrink the troops and gather in Fuzhou. Rely on Jian City and fight the Ming army to the death? Or delay time and wait for reinforcements from other provinces? Zhu Yongxing showed a sneer.
Currently, only Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces are able to reinforce Fujian. The Qing army in Jiangxi is gathering in Ganzhou to confront Li Sixing's troops who have captured the Meiling Mountains. The Qing navy is almost destroyed. Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Ningbo in Zhejiang are
Coastal places such as Hangzhou and Jiaxing are facing threats at any time, and it is impossible to dispatch too many troops to aid Fujian.
Defend to the death, defend to the death! It is easier to deal with them if they are concentrated in this way. If Fuzhou is attacked by land and water in the meantime, Geng Jingzhong will definitely end up with the same fate as Shang Kexi.
"Your Highness, I would like to return the royal seal." Director of the Confidentiality Office Zha Rulong respectfully presented the royal seal.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Yongxing reached out to take it, looked at Zha Rulong, and pointed at his face with a smile.
"Prior certificates", "land coupons", etc. must be stamped with the royal seal. This is Zhu Yongxing's intention. It not only shows the importance of meritorious people, but also is a means to win people's hearts. Vouchers with the royal seal are, for the common people,
, what an honor it is, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an offering. While receiving benefits, the benefactor, Min King Zhu Yongxing, is also remembered in his heart. At the same time, this is also a secret conversion of concepts. Zhu Yongxing
He represents the imperial court, and from now on, he will be the imperial court.
Zha Rulong rubbed his face in embarrassment and said: "The righteous people of Fujian Province are no less than those of Guangdong, and even more enthusiastic. Your Highness's encouragement policy has achieved remarkable results and won the hearts of the people!"
"The hearts of the people, if the Qing court has lost it, how can it be lost?" Zhu Yongxing sighed softly, pondered for a while, and whispered: "Are you sure about King Yanping's handwriting and seal?"
Zha Rulong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I am already 70-80% sure."
"That's good." Zhu Yongxing let out a long breath, "Be prepared. Let alone whether it can be used, if you are not prepared, you won't be able to hold on to Zheng Jing."
"My subordinate understands." Zha Rulong suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Your Highness, maybe Taiwan will have a way to deal with Zheng Jing without us taking action?"
Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly. This is correct. He has the righteousness of the imperial court. How could Zheng Xi and others in Taiwan not take this route? It seems that the initiative is indeed in his own hands.
For Fujian, it is the hardest hit area by coastal relocation, especially Xingzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. All the people who were moved have lost their livelihoods and are displaced. They cry loudly, carry their husbands and abandon their children, and lose their fathers. The human tragedy of divorce can be seen everywhere.
It is precisely because of this that the arrival of the Ming army won the support of the general public. With a series of incentive policies, the enthusiasm for supporting the army was no less than that of Guangdong.
It is not unreasonable to say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Especially at this time when dynasties are changing and people's hearts are unstable. The Qing court's short-sightedness and tyranny dug a grave for itself. The times are different. Because of the existence of Zhu Yongxing, the Southern Ming Dynasty has not been destroyed. , and there is a great potential for revitalization. The people have hope and light, and the response will naturally be greater.
For Zhu Yongxing, he also realized the advantages that the Southern Ming Dynasty had in competing with the Qing Dynasty. That was mobilization and organization. Although he could not escape the method of luring with benefits, in terms of war potential, Nan Ming already had the advantages to compete with the Qing Dynasty. The capital of the Qing Dynasty to compete.
The channels for obtaining funds and materials, the loose policies that benefit the people, the enthusiasm of the people to support the army, and the speed of military equipment expansion, the Southern Ming Dynasty greatly surpassed the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, every time it regained a place, it could use manpower and material resources as quickly as possible Start it and bundle it into Zhu Yongxing's chariot. At this point, the Qing Dynasty could not match it.
Regardless of the current main attack direction of the Ming army in Fujian, the troops stationed in other places are actually constantly being replenished and strengthened. Li Dingguo in Sichuan, Bai Wenxuan in Yunnan, Guangdong and Jiangxi, Li Sixing and Ma Weixing at the border of Guangxi and Jiangxi, as well as the garrison division in Guangzhou, Once the gap in guns and ammunition is filled, the Ming army can start a massive counterattack in multiple provinces south of the Yangtze River.
The advantages of musketeers are also becoming increasingly apparent. They can be trained in one month and go into battle with guns. If there is an emergency, they can be added to the army in a week or half a month for combat training. At this speed, the old can bring in the new. The method was also unmatched by the Qing Dynasty.
Judging from the current situation, it is quite similar to when Jin King Li Dingguo became king. The Ming army's momentum surged and the Qing army did not dare to fight. However, the civil strife in the Zheng family has added variables. Although the initiative is in hand, Zhu Yongxing also had to weigh the pros and cons to prevent the Ming army and the Zheng family from risking a conflagration.
After Zheng Chenggong's death, the generals in Taiwan, Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen and others, considered Zheng Jing to be "luanlun" and "unworthy of being a leader", supported Zheng Xi as the lord of the Eastern Capital, and divided their troops to prepare to resist Zheng Jing.
After Zheng Jing received the news, he consulted Chen Yonghua to join the army, Zhou Quanbin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fifth army, and Feng Xifan was appointed as the bodyguard to prepare for the entire army to cross Taiwan.
In this way, the two forces of the Zheng family, Taiwan and Jinxia, will have to get justice and permission from the "imperial court". Zheng Jing wants to inherit the title of King Yanping and the honor of the national surname; Zheng Xi also wants to get "
"Imperial Court" canonization in order to justifiably resist Zheng Jing.
The focus suddenly focused on Zhu Yongxing. When he was fighting against both sides, Zhu Yongxing had to strive to create a situation that was most beneficial to him.
