Chapter 210 Brother, the assistant minister, look at the words of "the eighteen sons are the ones who are in charge of the world"!
After the chaos, there were always a lot of things. Everyone was busy and they flew, so time passed quickly. After a little while, it was almost June in the late May of the 12th year of the Kangxi reign.
During the period after the Guangzhou Rebellion, the entire Guangdong-Guangdong area was definitely not considered peaceful. Under the intimidation of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's power to break Guangzhou and destroy the Shang family of Pingnan, the war in Guangdong-Guangdong was gone, but the small battles continued.
First, General Sun Yanling of Guangxi, and Admiral of Guangxi, Ma Xiong, ignored the dissuasion of Wu Sanwei and Guo Yi, took advantage of Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen, who led the main force to fight in Guangdong and jointly attacked Liuzhou. However, they were blocked by Cai Yuan, the general under Wang Fuchen, and were blocked by the commander of Wang Fuchen, under the city of Maping of Liuzhou for several days. They waited until Guangzhou was captured and the news of the destruction of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion reached Guangxi. Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong failed to succeed, so they had to retreat in shame.
However, this battle between Ma Ping cannot be regarded as the aftermath of the Guangzhou Rebellion, and the two battles occurred almost at the same time.
Shortly after the Guangzhou Rebellion and the Battle of Maping, the Guangdong Township Army sent by Wang Zhongxiao completed the pacification of the entire Guangzhou Mansion except Lianzhou. Then he personally led 10,000 Guangdong Township Army to attack Shaozhou Mansion, which was guarded by Shangzhijie and the two brothers Shangzhiying.
Before the formation of the encirclement of Guangzhou, Shang Zhixin was sent out by Shang Zhixin to manage Shaozhou and Nanxiongzhou retreat. The two also brought a thousand soldiers as "army bases" and brought many blank official photos issued by Shang Zhixin in the name of the Ming Dynasty Pingnan King.
Originally, with these official photos and Wu Sangui's power, they could still win over some of the big families of Shaozhou and Nanxiong Prefectures. After all, the equal-field law promoted by the Wang family in Guangzhou made these big families of Shaozhou and Nanxiong feel very unhappy. Moreover, the Shang family did not kill many people in Shaozhou, and Shaozhou was not near the sea, and it was not specially slaughtered by Shang Kexi.
But before they finally agreed on the price of the two brothers in the monk family, Guangzhou was taken down by the Wang family. Now no more eye-opening Guangdong man wanted to be buried with the Shang family, and the Shang family's rule in Guangdong collapsed.
Shang Zhijie, Shang Zhiying didn't have the courage to fight with the aggressive Wang Zhongxiao, and quickly packed up and ran away. He didn't even dare to stay in Nanxiongzhou, nor did he dare to go to Hunan, which was about to be controlled by Wu Guogui. The two of them had already received news from Wang Shirong that Wang Zhongxiao married Wu Xiaotu, the daughter of Wu Guogui, and how could they dare to defect to Wang Zhongxiao's father-in-law?
Therefore, they had to escape to Nan'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province under the Qing Dynasty. They fought hard when they were desperate. They led the way down the Meiguan Ancient Road, then seized the Nan'an Prefecture City Dayu, and pushed it to Nankang in one breath along Zhangshui, and took it in another battle.
When they were so cruel in Nan'an Prefecture, they scared the Qing army in Ganzhou Prefecture next to Nan'an Prefecture!
Because of Shang Zhijie, Shang Zhiying's army can be under the banner of Wu Sangui!
And the battle was so cruel, it must have been Wu Guogui's vanguard army!
Wu Guogui is coming soon, how can they not be afraid?
And just when the "vanguard of Wu Guogui" came to Ganzhou Prefecture, Li Zicheng also led his troops across Jiugong Mountain, the "rebirth place" and captured Yining Prefecture and Wuning County under Nanchang Prefecture.
This is so scary. Li Zicheng is in the north, Wu is in the west, and the Qing soldiers in Jiangxi are about to finish them!
The frightened Qing army in Ganzhou had to close the city and defend the enemy while asking the emergency to Wang Fuchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
When Wang Fuchen received the emergency, Wang Zhongxiao could not withdraw his extra troops to Jiangxi for a while. They had been a little overeating recently! They took half of the Guangzhou Mansion and the entire Shaozhou, and even issued an edict to establish Huizhou Prefecture, Nanxiong Prefecture, Lianzhou (the state of Guangzhou Mansion) and Qiongzhou Prefecture!
With so many territories, it takes a long time to digest them!
Before completing the digestion, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao were not interested in expanding. Moreover, the relationship between the father and son of the Wang family had to be well-organized. Therefore, they had no time to eat Jiangxi.
However, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and others could ignore the urgent situation in Jiangxi, but the imperial envoy sent by Kangxi to Guangdong to mediate the minister Mingzhu could not ignore the incident in Jiangxi.
Wu Guogui and Li Zicheng have entered Jiangxi. Then he should not go north to Jiangxi to avoid joining Wu Guogui and Li Zicheng. There is nothing to do with this fun, so he should go to Fujian!
Fujian is good, Fujian has a loyal minister Geng Jingzhong, a member of the Qing Dynasty!
Geng Jingzhong is very loyal. I heard that he had gathered 20,000 Fujian soldiers and was preparing to go north to Fuyuan General Jie's book to listen to it.
On the south side of Guangzhou's outer city, there are more than a dozen large boats of sailboats on the Tianzi Pier on the bank of the Pearl River. They are about to raise sails and pull their anchors, and take advantage of the just-risen west wind on the Pearl River to head towards the Dongjiang River.
Since Guangzhou is still in a mess, there are almost no merchants on the dock, and only a brigade of Qing soldiers without braids are boarding the ship dejectedly - they are undoubtedly still dressed in Qing soldiers, wearing zither suits and red tassels and cold hats, but the braid on the back of their heads that prove their loyalty was cut off.
In Guangdong, the Qing soldiers with braids can only be the subordinates of Chen Shikai and Chen Tietou, the general of the Qing Dynasty who was ordered to escort Mingzhu and his party to the north.
At this time, Chen Shikai was standing on the Pearl River Wharf, dressed as a "pig-free honest official". He was sighing at the pile of "people and cars" on the wharf.
Of course, there are people who have cars in this bunch of "human cars", and the cars among them are all prison cars! They are just prison cars with a cage on a chariot with a thief locked in the cage.
There are three such prison vans, including Shang Zhixin, Zhu Guozhi and Li Lan. Next to the prison vans, there were a large group of family servants with dim complexions, all tied into strings with strings, all of which were guilty.
Among them, Shang Zhixin has the most family members, slaves and servants, and looks the most miserable.
Shang Zhixin himself looked completely defeated, just sitting against the wooden fence, looking up at the flying birds flying on the Pearl River, and didn't know what he was thinking?
Zhu Guozhi and Li Lan looked much better. Although they were also punished by Kangxi for "dismissal from office and title and sued for Shaanxi". However, they were not serious and were suspected of pursuing rebellion. They might be Shang Zhixin's accomplices.
Among them, Li Lan also had two more crimes, one was the "black of cutting braids" and the other was the "black of ordering braids".
Chen Shikai and his subordinates' braids were cut off according to Li Lan's order!
If these two sins were put a few years ago, Ling Chi would have been executed. But now there are too many people cutting braids, which is no longer a big deal. Moreover, whether there is a braid or not is loyal to the Qing Dynasty may not necessarily have anything to do with the loyalty or not. Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao would not have braids? Dare Kangxi dares to say that they are not loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty?
So Li Lan feels that he still has some help
Zhu Guozhi was even more relieved. He was dragging a braid on the back of his head that could prove his loyalty!
There are no more men's braids in Guangdong now!
Of course, Mingzhu also had braids. At this time, he was standing next to the dock and saying goodbye to Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao.
"Teacher, according to the students, most of the world is in troubled times! Although the emperor is young and wise, his luck is not good. Wu Sangui is already difficult for him to deal with. Now there is another Li Zicheng. Moreover, Li Zicheng has occupied the upper reaches of Jiangnan and is now moving towards Jiangxi again. I guess he is going to open the Jiujiang Prefecture by land.
If the Jiujiang Prefecture had the surname Li, I am afraid no one could stop Li Zicheng from going to Jiangnan. Once Li Zicheng got Jiangnan, the world would be really three parts! And now it is no longer the time of the Three Kingdoms. The wealth population of the Central Plains is far less than that of the Southeast! If Li Zicheng got the Southeast, the prophecy of "Eighteen Sons to Rule the World" would have really come true!"
As soon as Wang Zhongxiao finished speaking, Wang Fuchen also said worriedly: "Duan Fan. If the situation in the Northern Dynasties is not good and you are not satisfied with it, then bring the princess to Guangdong. Guangdong is now a world of its own. No matter who rules the world, it will never experience chaos again. Maybe it will be a paradise for famous scholars in the world to take refuge."
I have to say that although Wang Fuchen is not loyal to the male protagonist, he is quite interested in the female protagonist. Now he can still think of Princess Wulin. This pearl really needs to take a few more breaths to suppress the fire.
"The King's Army, Shikai, you can just guard Guangdong and Guangxi!" Mingzhu looked cold, "Jiangning cannot be lost! The emperor has appointed Shi Lang as the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy and trained the navy in Poyang Lake when it was opened. King Jingnan has prepared 20,000 elite troops and can send troops at any time. With the Poyang Lake Navy and King Jingnan, as well as the Jiangnan mobilized by Prince Kang, the elite troops under the command of General Su Song, Li Zicheng will not have any big gains in Jiangxi."
"That's good, that's good!"
Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao nodded repeatedly, expressing relief.
At this time, the wind on the river surface became even stronger, and the west wind was blowing towards Huizhou.
Mingzhu bowed to Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao bowed and said, "The wind is blowing, it's time to go to Huizhou with the wind, let's leave!"
"Teacher, the student has sent a letter to Liu Shuai in Chaozhen. He will personally lead his troops to Haifeng to welcome you, and will also lead your troops to escort you into Fujian. It will definitely be foolproof!"
"Okay, I'll lend you auspicious words." As he said that, Mingzhu waved his hand, "Come here, let's escort Shang Zhixin, Zhu Guozhi, Li Lan and his family members all on board, and we'll go back!"
Jiugong Mountain, Ruiqing Palace, and Dashun Yongchang Emperor is here.
Li Zicheng has lived in this Taoist temple called Ruiqing Palace on Jiugong Mountain these days. While recalling the glorious years of the past, he commanded his army to encircle the territory of Jiujiang Prefecture along Mufu Mountain.
The encirclement commanded by Li Zicheng was not to capture Jiujiang in one fell swoop, but to force him to entrench in Wuchang and Huanggang counties.
Wuchang Prefecture City is called Jiangxia. Wuchang County is located on the east side of Jiangxia County, across the river from Huanggang County in Huangzhou Prefecture.
After the Qing army withdrew from Jiangxia County, Hanyang Prefecture, and Hankou Town, Hubei Governor's Yamen and Wuchang Prefecture were all withdrawn to Wuchang County. Wuchang and Huanggang also became the "Twin Cities Line" for the Qing army to guard the Yangtze River, and it was also the first line of defense to defend Jiujiang.
However, for Li Zicheng, who is now old and stronger, these arrangements of Jieshu are simply not worth mentioning. He has been hiding in Jiashan Temple for many years and has been reading military books a lot.
He used to fight all his talent and did not understand military tactics very much, so he performed very unstablely. When he fought well, the battles he fought were classic. But when he fought poorly, it was surprisingly bad.
But now, Li Zicheng's level of military use is not only high, but also stable. Anyway, a character like Jieshu was completely applauded by him.
However, it seems a bit difficult to win the world, he is already old after all.
A sound of footsteps sounded behind him. Li Zicheng listened with a slight smile and said, "Lai Shun, a shot, Wan Lin, Zhisheng, Dingshan, and others are all here."
Those who came were the civil officials and military officials who followed Li Zicheng, namely Li Laishun, Hu Yiqian, Huang Wanlin, Huang Zhisheng, and Xue Dingshan.
Five civil officials and military generals lined up and saluted Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng, who was standing in a quarantine in Ruiqing Palace, turned around and looked at the people in front of him with a smile, "What's the big news? Did the Tartars in Wuchang County and Huanggang County retreat?"
"Not Ada yet. I just got the Tang newspaper sent by Uncle Yihu to come from Yuezhou," Li Laishun immediately handed over a memorial, "The situation in Guangdong has changed drastically!"
"Guangdong." Li Zicheng took the memorial handed to him by Li Laishun. Without opening it, he asked directly, "Wang Fuchen took Guangdong?"
Huang Wanlin nodded: "Shang Kexi has completely finished it. Wang Fuchen is now the lord of Guangdong, and he also asked Wu Sangui to be granted the title of Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Minister of Nanyang, and the Tiannan Punishment. He also asked his four sons, Liu Jinzhong, and Qiu Hui to be granted the title of Governor of Jiedu."
"Okay!" Li Zicheng shouted OK, and attracted several puzzled gazes.
Li Zicheng glanced at everyone with one eye and said with a smile: "Wang Fuchen was born in the camp after all. And his original surname was Li! The prophecy that the Eighteenth Son master of the world might not be on his forehead, but on him!"
"Ada. Why did you say this?"
"Emperor! Who is he? One of the three surnames slaves!"
"The emperor, since ancient times, no one has managed to gain a world in Guangdong and Guangxi."
The following people didn't seem to believe that Wang Fuchen could win the world.
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "The way of heaven is unpredictable! No one could have the world in the past, but it does not mean that there will be no one in the future. As for the slaves of the three surnames, there were many emperors who recognized their godfathers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"
The old man Huang Wanlin came to Li Zicheng, "Emperor, do you want to form an alliance with Wang Fuchen and then use him to do things for Dashun?"
Li Zicheng smiled and said, "There will always be a head in the troubled times, and there will always be a real person in the world. I am old and I can't see this day anymore. But I come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place, come to the right place,
Huang Wanlin already understood.
This old emperor of Dashun feels that he has not been around for many days and should arrange a good ending for his followers as much as possible.
If the world returns to Wu or Qing, Li Zicheng's disciples and grandchildren will definitely not have a good ending. But if Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao have the world, Li Zicheng's disciples will definitely be valued and preferential in the new dynasty.
Li Zicheng glanced at his successor Li Laishun and smiled and said, "Laishun. Wang Fuchen didn't say he wanted to win the world now, and he didn't make the name of Li Zicheng, and you didn't claim to restore Dashun. So you and Wang Fuchen can still advance or retreat. It's better to form an alliance first. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will win the world together! If you don't have the opportunity, you will join forces to protect yourself. Laishun, do you know how hard you have done?"
"Ada, I understand." Li Laishun nodded.
"Okay, then who will go to Guangdong?" Li Zicheng looked at the people in front of him.
"The Emperor," said Huang Wanlin, "Let the dog take you to Guangdong!"
"Okay!" Li Zicheng nodded, "Zhisheng, go and talk to the Wang family about alliance!" He paused, "At that time, a large group of anti-kings first formed an alliance, then joined forces, and finally overturned the Ming Dynasty!"
In Xi'an, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was there.
Kangxi was sitting on the imperial seat in the Nan Study room, holding two letters of request for battle in his hand, looking over and over again, with a numb face full of relief.
