Of course Fan Chengmo did not dare to send troops with Geng Jingzhong to attack Jieyang County in Chaozhou Prefecture... Jieyang County was a strong city that had withstood the onslaught of Shang Kexi's 50,000-strong army!
Moreover, it is gratifying that the 50,000-strong army did not even touch the city wall of Jieyang County, and was defeated without even being able to go up to "Jieyang Island".
How can a city like this be so easy to fight? If Jieyang City is not captured, and Zhu Heji comes again, he might be the king of Three Peasants... Fan Chengmo doesn't want to be the leader of the "Three Peaches King".
Although he is not afraid of being a loyal hero, he must be a vigorous loyal hero so that his name can go down in history! If we only serve as a "teacher", in the future people will only know Geng Jingzhong but not Fan Chengmo, then wouldn't he be regarded as a loyal hero in vain?
In addition, if Geng Jingzhong is defeated and runs back, and then loses the Zhangzhou Mansion, what will he do to his ministers who guard the country and lead the country?
Don't become a criminal who loses his teacher and his territory when the time comes. Even if he is not a criminal, if the guns on the battlefield have no eyes, who knows which projectile is destined to him?
Thinking of this, Fan Chengmo had already made up his mind and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how can a scholar like this official lead troops to fight? Moreover, the emperor has already issued an edict to let the official choose a place to be transferred... This is What a great grace! The seat of the Governor of Zhejiang is now vacant, and I am familiar with the situation in Zhejiang, so I would like to ask him to be transferred to Zhejiang."
In fact, the position of Governor of Zhejiang was reserved for Fan Chengmo by Kangxi!
Let Fan Chengmo choose his own place to be an official, just to show his favor to a good slave.
Geng Jingzhong immediately smiled and nodded, "That's great. Fujian and Zhejiang are adjacent to each other. We can be neighbors in the future."
Fan Chengmo smiled and said: "Xiaoguan admires the prince's loyalty very much...so he wants to jointly submit a memorial with the prince to explain the prince's dispatch of troops to Chaozhou Prefecture. Moreover, he will also submit a memorial alone to ask for the emperor's consent. Your Majesty controls the military affairs in Chaozhou, Guangdong. This way, Your Majesty can command Liu Zongrong legitimately!"
Fan Chengmo seemed to have good intentions, but Geng Jingzhong was not stupid. Of course he understood that Fan wanted to tell Kangxi about sending troops to Chaozhou...so that he would have to keep his word, no matter what. Send troops to attack Jieyang County. Otherwise Emperor Kangxi would never trust him again!
Sending troops to Chaozhou Prefecture to seize Qiu Hui's territory will undoubtedly offend Qiu Hui, Qiu Shuzhen and his daughter, as well as the Chaozhou people in Zhu Ming's camp.
Qiu Huina is the father-in-law of Zhu Heji, the third grandson of Zhu San, and Qiu Shuzhen is Zhu Heji's original wife.
And the Chaozhou people are now an important pillar of Zhu Ming's camp!
Offending these people is equivalent to offending the Qing Queen Hesheli and the Sony family, and also offending the Eight Banners disciples of Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, and Zhengbai... .After offending these people, wouldn’t it be tantamount to surrendering to the Qing Dynasty?
By the same token, Geng Jingzhong is unlikely to join the anti-Qing and Fuming camps in the future.
"As long as Fan Zhijun's words are enough!" Geng Jingzhong patted his chest and immediately said to Fan Chengmo, "Soldiers are valuable and quick, so I will send troops to Chaozhou immediately! Why don't we write out the details of the memorial today, and then use six hundred miles to expedite it? Send it out!”
Hearing what Geng Jingzhong said, Fan Chengmo felt a little guilty. This Geng Jingzhong turns out to be really loyal! Why did I suspect that he was going to rebel before?
You almost wronged a good person!
Thinking of this, Fan Chengmo nodded heavily, and then said to his left and right: "Quickly prepare the four treasures of the study for me... I want to write a note for the emperor!"
...
Dahao, Qiu Family Courtyard.
When Geng Jingzhong and Fan Chengmo jointly wrote a memorial to Emperor Kangxi, Zhu Heji, who was waiting for the birth of his eldest son or daughter in this life, was discussing his family's Northern Expedition plan with Chen Yonghua, who had just arrived.
The Northern Expedition must be put on the agenda!
Although in the original history, the old guy Wu Sangui lost his spirit after conquering most of Hunan. He fought a tug-of-war with the Manchus in Hunan and Jiangxi for several years. He could not cross the Yangtze River or rush to attack Wuchang until his death. city.
But it’s hard to say whether it will be like this this time!
Because of the appearance of Zhu Heji, the current world situation is completely different!
First of all, Guangdong, which was responsible for causing chaos and causing trouble during the San Francisco Rebellion, has now become the anti-Qing stronghold. Guangxi, under the control of Zu Zeqing and Guo Yi, would at least not cause chaos to Wu Sangui.
In this way, Wu Sangui could concentrate his limited troops on the Huguang battlefield.
Secondly, with Yang Qilong's constant contact, Geng Jingzhong, who had a very firm anti-Qing stance in history but was of little use, is now likely to become a big card that can unexpectedly win.
This Geng Jingzhong actually only has the power of one blow!
There are only 9,000 direct descendants under his command. With the troops of Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Desheng, Ma Weixing, Liu Yan, Wang Jinggong and others, it is almost more than 30,000. The strength is not great, and the soldiers are not very good. A surprise battle may achieve miraculous results, but if you want to fight a protracted war, you will definitely lose your chain.
In the original history, Geng Jingzhong's rebellion was very careless. First, they fought two battles for Zhangzhou and Quanzhou with the Zheng Jiajun who had been defeated in the land war, but they were defeated both times!
Then, through Wu Sangui's mediation, he made peace with the Zheng family and immediately sent troops to Zhejiang. After arriving in Zhejiang, we fought a few times but couldn't win anymore, so we switched from offense to defense. When Prince Kang Jieshu from the Qing Dynasty arrived in Zhejiang with his army, Geng Jingzhong's army would be responsible for giving away heads to gain experience for his opponents... To be honest, if he had stayed with the Qing Dynasty, he would have been Zheng Jiajun's experience may make a greater contribution to the anti-Qing cause.
But this time, if Geng Jingzhong can really follow Yang Qilong's arrangements, he might really be able to help Wu Sangui conquer Wuchang!
Once Wuchang was captured by Wu Sangui, the world's situation would be completely different.
Therefore, Zhu Heji must make early plans now.
"Your Majesty, your strategy is indeed powerful, and I admire you very much. But Geng Jingzhong... is actually not qualified for big things!"
After listening to Zhu Heji's explanation of his Hunan-Jiangxi decisive battle strategy, Chen Yonghua was shocked on the one hand, but also raised his own concerns on the other.
Chen Yonghua paused and then said: "Even if he follows this strategy, will all the benefits go to Wu Sangui? Now Wu Sangui claims to be the president and the marshal of the world's troops, and his disobedience is obvious!
The prince, the prince and ministers of Yanping County are all worried that if he succeeds, it will not be the Ming Dynasty that will be restored! "
Zhu Heji smiled: "The Gu family knows that Wu Sangui is not stupid, so why should he fight the world again for my family? I just received a notice from Zhuge's military advisor. Wu Sangui's army has already entered Hunan... It's overwhelming. !
In addition, Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin, commander-in-chief Wu Zhimao, and Tan Hong also raised troops to respond. In the blink of an eye, we will capture the land of four provinces! "
"Your Majesty, you can't make wedding clothes for others!" Chen Yonghua looked very worried, "Prince Yanping thought the same way... The current anti-Qing situation is so good, it was all caused by you, Your Majesty. , Wu Sangui must not let Wu Sangui pick this fruit."
Chen Yonghua's words are actually showing his loyalty to Zheng Jing!
Although not long ago, Zheng Jing was still able to overwhelm the powerful forces of the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu. But now facing the third prince and grandson of Zhu, who have swept Guangdong and ruled millions of people, Zheng Jing no longer has the qualifications to fight against each other.
And he is not that ambitious. He just wants to be as rich as his grandfather Zheng Zhilong.
"That's natural!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "Wu Sangui calls himself the Presidential Grand Marshal. Who else doesn't understand his thoughts? This time we invited Chen Xueshi to Dahao to discuss how to capture Nanjing before him. .”
Chen Yonghua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do with Prince Yanping, please tell me... As long as Prince Yanping can do it, you will not be disappointed."
Zhu Heji laughed and asked Chen Yonghua: "Scholar Chen, how many ships have you mobilized that can travel by sea?"
