The turbulent 1684 quietly escaped in the fierce smoke and flames of war. What happened in these 12 months was enough for later generations of historians and military scientists to study for hundreds of years, and in fact, at that time, such a drastic political change also made all politicians fall through their glasses. At the beginning, when the rebellion of the three feudatories broke out suddenly, people's most daring understanding was also in the stage of "division between the north and the south", but a cannon outside the Forbidden City completely buried the grand blueprint of "the revival of the Qing Dynasty" - although no one knows when this Laoshizi "Qing Dynasty" prospered, in addition, the subsequent large number of rebels made the Manchu forces even worse, under the leadership of Yang Qilong's Shilang Society, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods, and green forest heroes who were originally hidden in various dark corners stepped onto the stage of history, so that the whole of Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and other vast areas north of the Yellow River fell into a whirlpool of extreme chaos.

Among them, Yang Qilong, who has been conspiring with Marshal Lin of the Han Army, has a very bad time, and it has been proved that using the underworld gang as a link to integrate the military group is a wrong theory, and Yang Qilong himself has deeply understood this. At the beginning, a group of enthusiastic Daming Erlang beheaded chickens and burned yellow paper in front of Emperor Taizu's spirit, vowing to strangle the Manchu, how solemn and high-spirited it was, but in just a few months, when these righteous brothers who were born and died mastered tens of thousands of horses, it was as if they had suddenly changed as if they had suddenly changed a person.

Fortunately, many local governments in the Qing court were also really weak, although there were many contradictions within the rebel army and even poured into each other, but the position of opposing the Qing Dynasty was unanimous, after the initial period of "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp", the leaders of the large and small rebel armies actually divided their spheres of influence according to their respective strengths, and unanimously elected Yang Qilong as the nominal leader - this is very bad news for the local governments of the Qing court, Because after the rebels finished distributing the spoils, they each launched a fierce attack on their own targets.

It must be admitted here that the peasant rebel army did lack military quality at the beginning of the army, but after so many months of civil war and foreign war, it still trained a lot of teams that could fight, and the local army of the Qing court still had the opportunity to engage in small ambushes and small counteroffensives with the cooperation of the landlords' regimental training, but when the rebel army was initially integrated, there was no such opportunity. The local regimental training organizations hidden in the rural areas also lost their living space under strong military pressure, and many of the landlords' armed forces were transformed into rebel armies, while most of the rest fled to the big cities with strong city defenses.

Siege warfare has always been the weakness of the peasant army, although at this moment Yang Qilong and his gang have occupied a lot of county towns and prefectures, but the reason why these cities were fallen, most of them are the success of the internal response, so when the Qing army learned a lesson, this kind of method is extremely rare, here they hit the wall the most place should be Kaifeng, this big city has always belonged to the key attack target of the righteous army, but unfortunately due to the lack of engineering and artillery and other arms, only relying on the courage of blood and military quality of the righteous army launched countless siege operationsAfter leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind, nothing was found, until the initial integration of the forces of the rebel army was finally completed, and this majestic ancient city was still in the hands of the Qing local government. So, naturally, when the vast number of revolutionary aspirants were at a loss for the stubbornness of the reactionaries, the Han army Marshal Lin, who had always appeared as a revolutionary sympathizer, extended a warm helping hand at the right time, and after some bargaining, four red-coated cannons and a team of artillery advisers finally sold for 1.8 million taels of silver, and what followed was the collapse of the city walls of Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and other cities, although the Qing army in the city and the city residents made extremely stubborn resistance. But in front of thousands of rebel soldiers, it was natural to use the mantis arm as a car to no avail, and after a few days of street fighting, in addition to the rich bags of the rebels, any residents who dared to keep their braids had fallen in a pool of blood, and the governor of Henan and the generals of the Qing army, who had been presiding over the resistance, also followed Kangxi with great courage.

The laws of war are naturally very fair, despite the victory, but these bloody battles also made the righteous army greatly injured, although they never worried about the source of soldiers, but the backbone of the sacrifice and the tested veterans are not able to replenish for a while, so after the cold current frozen the earth, the righteous army also helplessly stopped the offensive, entered a long-term state of repair, and the Qing army in Ruzhou, Xuzhou line confrontation.

In addition to the unlucky governor of Henan, the second unlucky is Geng Jingzhong of Fujian. The reason why this person will fall into today's fate can be said to be completely self-inflicted, although it is a very exciting game to compete for hegemony in the world, but it is definitely not everyone is qualified to play, in all fairness, Geng Jingzhong is indeed a good hand at fighting, but it is impossible to hide his extreme incompetence in politics, in fact, after the Qing court and Prince Shuokang Jieshu marched into Xianxialing, this kid should honestly admit defeat, If he took the lead at that time, it is estimated that no matter which force will give him a very decent step, but this person is really a little ignorant, and suddenly saw Lin Feng suddenly annihilating the Qing Dynasty after the army suddenly thought that he had a new opportunity, and naively immediately ordered to regroup, of course, this malicious military behavior is of course very offensive in the eyes of others.

To be honest, Geng Jingzhong still made a detailed arrangement in the military, although he is not good at politics, but he is also a general who has crawled out of the pile of dead people in the army for decades, and he immediately forcibly requisitioned 60,000 soldiers after the autumn grain was put into the warehouse, and the remnants of more than 70,000 troops built a strict and solid defense system in Fuzhou, which broke the hearts of countless Fujian fathers and elders, so on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, when he gathered all the generals to drink for the New Year, A group of his most trusted subordinates suddenly mutinied, and several Geng army generals and his personal soldiers joined forces to slaughter hundreds of Geng family servants in one hour.

The scuffle, looting and rape in Fuzhou continued until the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Taiwan's Zheng Ching's troops officially took over the city. Afterwards, when I heard that Geng Jingzhong had perished, a province in Fujian cheered and firecrackers rang out.

Taiwan's Zheng Jing and his chief strategist Chen Jinnan have left a strong mark on Chinese history, and in fact, this historical fact is still a case study in China's major military and political academies in the 21 st century because the written materials are preserved in great detail. At that time, because the coup d'état was too sudden, the only gain for Shang Zhixin and Prince Qingkang of Guangdong, who were close at hand, was only to recruit thousands of Geng officers and soldiers.

In this silent war, loyalty and betrayal, deception and honesty, money and beauty, bribery and co-optation, righteousness and self-interest, the noblest side of human beings alternated between the most noble side and the most despicable side, and burned vigorously in the blood.

Contrary to Geng Jingzhong's full of evil, Wu Sangui has entered the pinnacle of his life in 1684 AD, which is really a very dramatic year - at the beginning of the year, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still in the confrontation with the Qing soldiers, whether it is the horse harrier of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Wang Ping Fan, or Wu Sangui himself personally commanded the front line of Hubei and Jiangxi, there has never been any exciting good news, the three princes of the Qing Dynasty and the green camp of Ganshan seem to be unstoppable, and even the Great Zhou has spent countless silver taels, The Dongting sailors who were leaning on the Great Wall had all surrendered and betrayed, and at such a difficult moment, the savior of the Great Zhou, Lin Fenglin, was born like a savior, completely reversing the situation of the war thousands of miles away.

When the news of Kangxi's conferment of the head reached Jiangnan, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty thundered with joy, and they all joined hands and prayed - it is really the right eye of the sky, and my Great Zhou is really destined to return, and His Excellency Marshal Wu Sangui, the "Great Zhou World Recruits Generalissimo", almost suffered a myocardial infarction, and immediately seized the opportunity to repair the broken defense line in the last defeat, and reorganized the army in order to move later. And the morale of the Qing Dynasty princes who confronted them on the front line was low, countless generals turned white overnight, and the Dongting sailors who had just surrendered to Cheng were even more mutinous and infighting immediately collapsed, but this is not the most terrible news, after turning from attack to defense, countless gossip rumors were circulated in the military camp of the Qing Dynasty, and the three princes of the Aixin Jueluo family were already extremely unhappy about this throne. At present, the outer thieves have not been destroyed, the internal thieves have not been eliminated, and the only remaining army is in danger of splitting again.

When the news came out, the governors of all parts of the Qing Dynasty were all trembling, except for the yamen where the army was stationed, the officials in other places almost at the same time became ambiguous, pushing and pushing the messengers before the grain requisition.

In the spring of 1685, the physical condition of an old man had a huge impact on Chinese history.

Because of the long-term war, the sixty-eight-year-old Marshal Wu Sangui suffered from rheumatism, neuralgia, asthma and other serious diseases, under the suppression of the previous nervous mentality, these diseases did not seem to have much impact on his daily life, but at this moment, after the overall situation turned around and the mood was happy, all kinds of diseases came very inappropriately, and even on the day when Kangxi was confirmed to be full of evil, he almost suffered a stroke under the great joy, although now after some treatment and recuperation, he has regained his ability to act again, But his relatives and his military generals were still worried about this.

His Excellency Marshal Wu Sangui was obviously aware of this, and in fact, this thought had been deeply in his mind since he drove Li Zicheng out of the Forbidden City, and it had been haunted and lingered for decades.

In view of the fact that His Excellency the Marshal was in weak health and could not travel long distances for the time being, the civil and military teams of the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty decided to transfer the political center to Changsha after some deliberation. After that, things became very interesting, as soon as the officials of the Great Zhou Qin Heavenly Prison arrived in Changsha, they immediately discovered the great changes between the universes, especially the strange activities in the movement of the stars; Since then, huge fruit trees have been found in Wuling and Chenzhou; Then a miraculous news came from Kunming, Yunnan, that one night, countless residents of Kunming City petitioned in the Pingxi Palace, and found the sight of fragrant clouds and golden dragons flying. After receiving these many reports, the officials in other places under the rule of the Great Zhou came to their senses as if they had been slapped in the face collectively, and all kinds of strange and auspicious news came one after another, and the list went on.

After that, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River became agitated, and everyone was dissatisfied with His Excellency Marshal Wu Sangui's efforts to resign from the position of emperor, and even His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, the crown prince of the former Chongzhen Emperor, was very angry at Marshal Wu Sangui's modesty, so he ordered the Imperial Forest Army to arrest His Excellency Marshal Wu Sangui, and forcibly ceded the imperial throne to Marshal Wu Sangui on the Zen Concession Platform that had already been built outside the city.

As a result, His Excellency Marshal Wu Sangui had to accept Chan concessions under the coercion of the former emperor by force.

In the spring of 1685 A.D., Changsha, Hunan Province held a grand ceremony to worship the sky, the Great Zhou Dynasty invited the generalissimo Wu Sangui to accept the emperor's Chan concession, officially enthroned as the emperor, in order to show respect for the former emperor, the country name was still retained as "Zhou", changed the Yuan Zhaowu, and ordered Changsha, Hunan Province to be the Dingtianfu, and the original wife Liu was the queen, and the grandson Wu Shifan was the prince.

According to the rules handed down through thousands of generations, the first thing after the establishment of the new dynasty was to reward the meritorious ministers, when the Wu family and His Majesty the Emperor followed the ten general soldiers in the palace were richly rewarded, the Great Zhou court finally remembered that there was a great meritorious man far away in the north who had not yet been benefited, so after several days and nights of meetings and discussions with the strategists and ministers, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou decided to reward one of his princesses to the Han army Lin Fenglin Marshal who occupied Beijing.

After an urgent family meeting within the emperor's court, the candidate for marriage fell on the head of Princess Wu Yingke of Anping, the daughter of Chen Yuanyuan, a Jingxian monk.

When this person was elected, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the opposition were in an uproar, among the several daughters of His Majesty Wu Sangui, the Great Zhou Emperor, the most beautiful and moving is this Princess Anping, in fact, many young people in the Great Zhou Dynasty have always admired it, when they knew that His Majesty the Emperor was going to marry the most beautiful princess to the hero of the north, everyone was envious of the young man's Yanfu.

However, envy is envy, and everyone is not very surprised by the emperor's decision, because the status of their mother and daughter in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also very clear.

There is nothing surprising about this matter, and it is the same as the stories of other infatuated women in the world. The lingering love story of these two heroes and beauties is also famous in the world, and His Majesty the Emperor even left a reputation of "rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face", but it is a pity that this legendary relationship did not resist the torrent of time after all, and then the facts once again proved that if a woman believes in a man too much, it is definitely a very stupid thing. When Wu Sangui was awarded the title of Prince of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, more beauties such as "Four-faced Guanyin" and "Eight-faced Guanyin" broke into life, and Qinglang naturally made a choice when the Yiren were gradually aging and declining. After falling out of favor, Chen Yuanyuan's life suddenly became very difficult, and the long-jealous lady of the main house took the opportunity to fall into the well, out of helplessness, this original sensational beauty had to lead the practice in a small nunnery next to Kunming.

Wu Yingke, the princess of Anping, who was born in such a single-parent family, certainly did not have any interesting childhood, in fact, whether her mother was favored or not, she was very isolated in the big family of the Wu family, and the other aunts were jealous of her mother's beauty and reputation, while the elders of the Wu family resented her mother for mistaking Wu Sangui's name - this was of course some kind of perverted prevarication and false accusation. So there was such a ridiculous situation: the lord of Huile of the Great Qing Dynasty, the princess of Dazhou Anping, who had a prominent family background and a noble birth, had to be forced to leave the palace and live in a nunnery with her mother.

Fortunately, although Wu Sangui is unkind, but is not an irresponsible man, the material conditions of the two are still very superior, although they are in the temple, but life is also a group of slaves, her mother Chen Yuanyuan often feels inferior and guilty for her own origin in front of this princess, and she is also careful to take care of her on weekdays, so the disaster happened naturally, Princess Anping, who grew up in such an isolated and discriminated single-parent family, had a terrible temper, What's even more frightening is that because of the lonely life when she was a child, in order to pass the time, she also learned some martial arts from the guards around her, and things have developed to the present, she has become a very unstable time bomb in the royal family of the Great Zhou. It can be said that in addition to her mother, who can take care of her a little, there is nothing in the Great Zhou court that she does not dare to provoke, and even her father, Wu Sangui, can't get any face from her, so although her beauty is well known, until now, no son and brother dare to come to the door to propose.

Although the Han army and the Great Zhou Dynasty have never had any diplomatic contact, but this does not prevent the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is a very difficult diplomatic action, because the territory between the two sides is a thousand miles of enemy occupied areas, so for the passage of the envoy group The Great Zhou army also mobilized more than 20,000 people to launch a small-scale campaign, after fully attracting the attention of the Qing army, the envoy was interspersed along the gap in the war zone to the north under the protection of the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou military.
