Chapter 457: Three Emperors in One State
Five days later, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui led their troops to arrive, and the forward of Luck Dehun's department approached Yanping and Fuzhou City, which fell into danger.
Although Zheng Chenggong failed to persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing court, he went to the Confucian Temple to cry in the temple, burned Confucian clothes, and parted ways with his father, but the blood and family ties continued to be separated.
In fact, in history, Zheng Chenggong did not turn against his father, but Zheng Zhilong wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong's opposition was invalid, and then Zheng Zhilong wanted to go north to Fuzhou to meet Duoduo and Boluo, and Zheng Chenggong dissuaded, thinking that the Qing court was therefore unfavorable to Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong did not listen, he insisted on going north, which led Zheng Chenggong to lead his troops to break away from the south to Guangdong.
Therefore, at the beginning, Zheng Chenggong was not all loyal to the Longwu Dynasty, but turned against his father.
And after Zheng Zhilong was placed under house arrest by Boluo in Fuzhou and taken to Shuntianfu, Zheng Chenggong officially went all out to resist the Qing Dynasty, nominally to recover the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, at least half of it was for his father.
Just imagine, Zheng Zhilong is in the hands of the Qing court, if Zheng Chenggong is unable to resist the Qing Dynasty or also surrenders, then Zheng Zhilong's role in the Qing court will be gone, only Zheng Chenggong has always firmly resisted the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong is safe, the more Zheng Chenggong hurts the Qing army, the greater Zheng Zhilong's weight in the heart of the Qing court, which is also one of the reasons why Zheng Chenggong has always been firm in resisting the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, everyone has selfish intentions, and in troubled times, those who can keep the bottom line in their hearts from beginning to end are heroes.
Saying this just shows that Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Zhilong only have different opinions at most, and there is no grudge at all.
What's more, Zheng Chenggong and his uncle Zheng Hongkui have always had a deep friendship, although Zheng Hongkui said that when he was guarding Xianxia Pass, he learned that the Qing army was approaching, and he did not send a shot, and fled when he heard the news, causing the Qing army to enter Fujian. But after Zheng Chenggong's move, Zheng Hongkui also followed Zheng Chenggong to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Chengcheng led his troops to break away from Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, this kind of blood relatives on the city wall is a kind of torture for anyone.
Zheng Chenggong became in a trance because of this, and his resistance became negative.
The south gate was once lost, but fortunately Zhang Huangyan was prepared, and sent an army left by Wu Zheng to protect Zhang Huangyan at that time, and formed a death squad of hundreds of people to reinforce the south gate.
may be saved for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Zheng Chenggong can't get past the demon in his heart, so he can't form a joint force to resist.
And three sides are fighting, and the city cannot adjust its deployment for a while, otherwise Li Chengdong's first division will be transferred to the south gate, and Zheng Zhilong's attack can also be stopped.
At the critical juncture, Huang Daozhou had a deep conversation with Zheng Chenggong.
The final decision was made that was a big surprise - to retreat, and the Ming army withdrew from Fuzhou City in exchange for the Qing army not to pursue.
Zhang Huangyan was stunned when he heard the news, and even Li Chengdong, a rebel general, was angry.
But the strange thing is that Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, actually agreed to the decision of Zheng Chenggong and Huang Daozhou, and promised to send someone to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong and Duoduo about the withdrawal of the army.
Two days later, more than 10,000 Ming troops evacuated Fuzhou in an orderly manner, went to the port to board a ship and headed south to Guangzhou.
So far, the whole territory of Fujian was occupied by the Qing army, it is a pity that the people of a city in Fuzhou, because of their full help to help the Ming army defend the city, were settled by the Qing army after the autumn, within five days, the slaughtered people, as many as more than 1,000 households, nearly 10,000 people, Fuzhou city and outside the city are the same, corpses and mountains of blood.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!
……。
What's even more ridiculous is that thinking that Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor, had been martyred, Su Guansheng, a scholar of the Longwu Dynasty who originally aimed to recruit a new army in Guangzhou, contacted the university scholar He Wuyu, the political envoy of Guangdong Gu Yuanjing, and the waiter Wang Yinghua and Zeng Daowei supported Zhu Yujian's younger brother Zhu Yujian as the supervisor of the country in the name of "brother and brother", and took the capital department as the palace.
But at this time, Zhu Youlang, who was already in charge of the country in Zhaoqing, was furious and immediately announced that he had ascended the throne as the emperor, known as the "Yongli Emperor" in history.
When the news came, Su Guansheng and others immediately responded, and two days later, Zhu Yulu was proclaimed emperor, known as "Emperor Shaowu" in history.
The ascension to the throne was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to prepare for the dragon robe, so he borrowed a set of costumes from Cantonese opera singers, and he became the emperor.
And when Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian led his army to Guangzhou and went ashore, there were three emperors in this Guangzhou, and the two emperors of Yongli and Shaowu were meeting each other.
The reason was that Yongli Zhu Youlang sent Peng Yao and Chen Jiamo, the head of the military department, to Guangzhou, and met Zhu Yulu with the etiquette of a vassal king, and persuaded him to cancel the emperor's title.
Su Guansheng, the chief scholar of Shaowu, was furious and ordered Peng and Chen to be beheaded, and then ordered Chen Jitai to attack Zhaoqing.
So war broke out between the two sides.
According to reason, Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, led his troops ashore in Guangzhou, so this turmoil should calm down.
Because Zhu Yujian ascended the throne first, in the south of Fujian, Zhu Yujian was regarded as the right one.
Whether it is Zhu Youlang or Zhu Yulu, the premise of ascending the throne is that Zhu Yujian was martyred, and the country cannot be without a monarch for a day.
Under the command of the two emperors, they were all ministers of the Longwu Dynasty.
But the problem is that the arrival of Zhu Yujian has made this chaos even more chaotic.
Well, Shaowu Zhu Yulu and Yongli Zhu Youlang refused to abdicate, so a civil war became more and more intense.
Fortresses are always breached from within.
……。
The fifth day of the second month of the first year of Qingtai (1647).
In the early hours of the morning, it will be dark.
The river wind is still biting, and thousands of boats on the Yangtze River are contending.
Relying on the cover of the artillery of the naval division, the 20,000 Ming Army launched a large-scale counterattack in the direction of Yizhen in Jiangbei.
The artillery on both sides of the strait fired at each other, and thousands of arrows shuttled through the river.
Countless lives were lost in an instant.
Until the thin curtain fell, the Qing army was finally caught off guard, and the Ming army broke through the river defense, and the 20,000 forbidden troops of Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong landed in Jiangbei, thus launching a surprise attack on Yizhen overnight.
When the Qing court heard the news, Dolgon was also shocked, and the joy of occupying Zhenjiang Mansion was swept away.
Shunzhi Xiao'er was even more anxious and wanted to flee north again.
Shunzhi immediately summoned Hong Chengchou and others to ask about countermeasures.
This is a good opportunity to fight back, for Hong Chengchou and other Ming ministers who have been suppressed by Dolgon.
It's not that they want to repeat it again, but it's their purpose to fight for power.
Since I have descended to the Qing Dynasty, I have no righteousness or integrity or loyalty to speak of.
For the sake of profit.
The Ming ministers who descended to the Qing Dynasty have been suppressed by the Qing ministers led by Dolgon, and most of them have gathered under Hong Chengchou, trying to keep warm in a group, and one day reverse the hard life of raising a little girl.
Clearly, the opportunity has come.
Hong Chengchou righteously criticized Dorgon's unscrupulous strategy, pointing out that the Qing army should not open up a third battlefield when Fujian, Guangdong, and Shaanxi and Gansu were undecided, which greatly increased the pressure on the imperial court, which led to the mistake of the Ming army breaking through the river defense and going straight to the heart of the imperial court, and the regent should be fully responsible.
A group of Hanchen immediately responded in unison, and the momentum was so great that it had never been seen before.
