When the Qing army finally invaded Fujian Province, the situation in the southeast finally became clear, and anyone with eyes in the world could see that Geng Jingzhong's time was short, in fact, the situation might not be as favorable to the Qing army as it is now, in fact, even Geng Jingzhong himself certainly did not expect the end to come so quickly.

When the Qing army achieved military victories on the front line at the same time, the political offensive warfare of the imperial court also achieved great results, the Kangxi Emperor in the use of traitors and sowing discord and other aspects of the attainments have been fully exerted, under his personal guidance and control, Geng Jingzhong originally thought that Shang Zhixin tore off the skin, from Guangdong to attack the city and beat the water dogs, and Taiwan has always been inseparable from the "Qing dog" Zheng Jingbu also crossed the sea to the north, seized the opportunity to counterattack the mainland to obtain a new foothold, and the troops were sharp and captured more than a dozen county towns in a row, As a result, the Jingnan regime in Fuzhou soon fell into a desperate situation under domestic and external pressure, and now it can not think about the war, but on the choice of who to surrender to can achieve a more decent result.

At this time, the Qing court finally recovered a little from a series of sudden blows, and Prince Jie Shu of Heshuo Kang and the general Fu Lama led an army of more than 100,000 to sit in Xianxialing, condescendingly looking down on the dog-eat-dog between the rebels, and at the same time began to rectify the rear, sending the troops of Pingnan General Lai Ta to cooperate with Li Zhifang, the governor of Zhejiang, to appease the place.

It is fair to say that the decision of the Qing army is indeed very wise, although the Qing army has achieved a brilliant victory in the big battle, but the trouble left is not small, although the army of Geng Jingzhong was wiped out on the battlefield in Zhejiang, but the word "elimination" does not mean that nearly 100,000 soldiers were killed to the point that there is no one left, the standard for measuring military results in the era of cold weapons is relatively tolerant of later generations, as long as an army is scattered and does not appear as a formation, then it can be described as elimination, Therefore, at the beginning, only some of the 100,000 soldiers were really killed or captured, and most of the others were scattered in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties in Zhejiang Province, and these soldiers were far away from their relatives and could not return to their hometowns, and at the same time there was a shortage of food and clothing, and they had no livelihood, so they naturally embarked on the road of crime that endangered society.

During this period of time, the work of distributing food and wages almost made the body of the Taizhou prefect completely collapse, so he was greatly relieved when the front line was pushed to the territory of Fujian Province, but when he was just comfortable two days later, he unexpectedly found a more surprising problem, the security problem in his jurisdiction has now slipped to an unacceptable situation, and large and small cottages abound in the North Yandang Mountains, according to the subordinate county order report, "...... The scorching flame of the thief is outrageous, the sunrise and the sunset and the robbery, the soldiers of the county are afraid of the thief, only to protect the city, the power of the court is almost gone, the thieves swarm and roar away, and even the thief's brigade is in the city and drums, the officials and the people and gentry dare not say war, and there is no king's law to speak of five miles away from the city gate...... In the past, the anointed land was uninhabited, and business travel could not do it, and the disaster of war and fire for hundreds of years was no better than Si ......" The prefect really read more and more frightened, and immediately had a strong sense of crisis about the safety of the prefecture, so he hurriedly gathered the garrisons of the surrounding county towns to respond, but at this critical moment he received another piece of gratifying news.

According to the report of the errand sent to Linji County to investigate, there was a team of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in his jurisdiction without his knowledge, the banner was strict and the troops were strong, and the discipline was also very strict, and no one was allowed to guard the traffic arteries, and even the face of the prefect was not sold.

The prefect didn't pay attention to it at first, as far as he knew, most of the army of the imperial court was like this, could a reasonable army still be an official army?! But when he later wrote an autographed envelope and sent it to the past several times without reply, he finally came to a little temper, although it was the custom to say that the generals of the Qing army despised local officials, but it was the first time to see it in such a disregard for officialdom, in this extremely angry state of mind, he wrote a letter to his friend Jiangnan Liangdao, who was used before the transfer of the army, and entrusted him to report to Prince Kang, and ask which unruly bastard was stationed in Linji County here.

Of course, this army could not be found in the battle sequence of the Qing army, so this issue was quickly attached great importance to by the leaders of the Qing army at all levels. An unidentified army quietly appeared behind the army, and the generals and officials here didn't receive any news, so what did they pay it back? As a result, Laita's troops, who had quelled the bandits in Zhejiang, received clear instructions and ordered him to deal with these thousands of people within a time limit.

When the fake official army surfaced, Lin Feng still didn't know anything about it, at this time he already knew the news of Geng Jingzhong's imminent defeat, and he was discussing the general trend of the world with Zhou Peigong in the county yamen.

"Pei Gong, Geng Jingzhong seems to be in a few days, and Shang Zhixin is running out of time, do you think this Wu Sangui can become a climate?!" During this time, the two have been chatting and playing chess together every day, in addition to their different positions, their friendship has become deeper and deeper, and they have long had nothing to talk about.

"Today's emperor is wise and wise, rare in ancient and modern times, and has long been prepared for the current situation, the reason why Wu Sangui is arrogant for a while is actually in the next game of very big chess ......"

"Alright, alright, don't talk about playing chess!" Lin Feng waved his hand impatiently, he didn't know how, he was a little familiar with the next big thing, and there was a little bit of vomiting. "You mean that for the current war situation, the imperial court hasn't gone all out yet, right?"

Zhou Peigong smiled, no longer perfunctory, thought about it carefully and then shook his head and said, "The imperial court has done its best, when I left Beijing, the Fengtai battalion had already been exhausted, and the infantry commander Yamen was only left to suppress the patrol officers and soldiers of the people. The clever response of the rebels really caught the court off guard, and it was overstretched for a while! ”

"Then you still say that you have been prepared?!" Lin Feng said incomprehensibly.

Zhou Peigong smiled, "How old are you today?" How old is Wu Sangui? Who is more prepared for the future? Zhou Peigong shook his head, "What I said about being prepared only refers to the grain and grass salary, but the military strength has not been taken into account, since the defeat of the current pro-government, has always been the top priority to cut the domain, since that year began to hoard grain and grass to enrich the treasury, in order to prepare for the needs of the army, but the expansion of the army has a huge repercussions, easy to cause speculation and suspicion from all sides, so it must not be delayed slightly, resulting in the current lack of troops - such as today's initial decision, the people are tired of war, if Wu Sangui storms more than once, take advantage of the imperial court unprepared to cross the Yellow River and chaos in the Central Plains, The general trend of the world may be undecided, but this person has no great ambition, only to divide the south of the Yangtze River as a foothold, the imperial court to rebel with righteousness, and the entire north as its source of military salary, just like a strong man fighting a boy, the period of his defeat can be ......"

"I said Lao Zhou, it's not that you don't know that I hate this thing!" Lin Feng yawned, Wu Sangui was naturally not in suspense for him, it had already been clearly written in the middle school textbook, "I understand what you mean, that is, the lack of troops in the imperial court is temporary now, and in a few days the new army will be trained, and the food and salary will increase, and then Wu Sangui will be beaten to the ground, isn't it?!" ”

"Not necessarily!!" Zhou Peigong said with a smile.

"Oh?! Are you saying that Wu Sangui can still win?! Lin Feng was a little interested, and said in his heart, isn't it Lao Tzu who came to this world and Wu Sangui won, right?!

"There are too many hidden worries in the north, and the imperial court is struggling now!" Zhou Peigong stretched out his fingers, "First, after the Manchurian people entered the customs, they enclosed the land indiscriminately, resulting in the loss of tenants and lands in the northern provinces, and scattered all over the place without food and clothing. The 'Heaven and Earth Society' and the 'Shiro Society', which have always been enemies of the imperial court, are scattered throughout the country, and if they take the opportunity to rebel in response to the rebellion, they will ......"

"Heaven and Earth Will !!" Lin Feng suddenly became extremely excited, and slapped the table with excitement, "I heard that there is such a sentence in the rivers and lakes: 'If you don't know Chen Jinnan, it is useless to call yourself a hero'!" Do you know this Chen Jinnan?! ”

"Chen Jinnan?? Isn't it the leader of the rebel party? The court has clearly ordered him to be wanted, how can I know him?! Zhou Peigong looked at Lin Feng strangely, and couldn't help frowning, why did this General Lin like promiscuous gangsters so much, and said unhappily, "Even such a small person as Chen Jinnan dares to say that he is a hero?!" ”

"Why aren't you a hero, didn't you just say that the Heaven and Earth Society can still affect the situation in the north?!" Lin Feng touched his nose in embarrassment and retorted stiffly.

Zhou Peigong smiled dumbly, but he didn't entangle with him, "Brother Lin doesn't know, just when I was out of Beijing, there was an earth-shattering event in Jingshi!" He stood up, paced back and forth in the small hall, and said slowly, "Soon after the beginning of spring this year, the leader of the Shiro Society gathered a group of ruffians in Beijing, colluded with some miscellaneous eunuchs in the palace, and set fire to the palace at night. At that time, there will be chaos in the court, which will inevitably affect the general trend of the world," Zhou Peigong looked at Lin Feng seriously, "I said that Chen Jinnan and others are small people, but small people may not be able to shake the world, not to mention that today's villain may not be tomorrow's great enemy," he suddenly laughed, looking up to the sky and laughing, "The carp jumps over the dragon gate and rides the wind into the ninefold!" ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, a vague thought flashed, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember, he waved his hand helplessly, and sighed sincerely, "Before I came here, I thought that things were simple, Kangxi would win, Wu Sangui would lose, and there was no place for it, but when I heard Pei Gong say this today, I realized that there are still so many variables......"

Speaking of this, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside the door, and the neighing of the war horse seemed to stand suddenly, and then the door was violently pushed open, hitting the wall with a bang, and a figure stumbled in, Lin Feng was startled, and turned his head to look, but it was Wang Dahai, who should have led the troops to be stationed outside.

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Big things are not good!! Wang Dahai's face was covered with dust, his forehead and cheeks were full of black beads of sweat, his eyes showed a look of horror, and his black face turned blue and purple at this moment, and when he pounced into the inner hall, he was mixed on the threshold and fell to the ground heavily.

Lin Feng was shocked in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and handed over a cup of tea casually, "Drink water first, speak slowly, speak slowly, don't worry!! ”

Wang Dahai gasped slightly, pushed away the tea, and squeezed Lin Feng's arm tightly with his backhand, "My lord...... Big things are not good! The Qing army brigade has arrived in Taizhou Mansion, and now they are exterminating the bandits all the way and marching all the way to Linji County! ”

"Oh?! Hehe," Lin Feng put his mind at ease, turned his head, and suddenly found that at some point, Zhao Guangyuan, Liu Laosi, and the ** Sheng who had just surrendered to Cheng and other generals under his command had already arrived, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and frowned, "Didn't we discuss it earlier, if the Qing army team comes, it will surrender, what is there to panic about!" ”

Zhao Guangyuan had a calm face, stepped forward and bowed and clenched his fists, "My lord doesn't know, the general led by the Qing army this time is Laita......"

"Huh?!" Lin Feng was taken aback, and then smiled, "That's okay, aren't we going to kill one of his own soldiers?" There are no eyes on the battlefield, naturally you are dead or alive, not to mention that things have passed for so long, is this Raita so unlucky?! ”

"And that's not all! My lord......" Zhao Guangyuan exchanged a helpless look with the surrounding generals, and said dejectedly, "They killed the remnants of our scattered Geng army along the road, did not surrender or take prisoners, and if they were caught, they would be beheaded immediately!" ……”

"What do you say?!!" Hearing this, Lin Feng was like five thunderbolts, the teacup in his hand fell down, and smashed it with a "ding dong", his face turned red and white, and he suddenly pounced on Zhao Guangyuan's placket and said viciously, "Is this true?" …… How do you kid know?! He suddenly thought in his heart that if the Qing army was not surrendered and did not want to be captured, then naturally there would be no life, how could Zhao Guangyuan and the others know.

"My lord......" Zhao Guangyuan looked depressed and wanted to die, and let Lin Feng grab his clothes softly, "Wang Dahai gathered a few defeated soldiers over there, they said it personally, and we also sent scouts at the time, and it was confirmed that it was correct!" ”

"How so...... How so?! Lin Feng sat down softly in despair, it is clearly written in the history books that Kangxi vigorously appeased the rebellious officers and soldiers when he quelled the rebellion of the three feudatories, and his policy was extremely lenient, how could this come back to himself, but he was so cruel and left no room for anything!!

He sat there in a daze, turned his head blankly, and looked at Zhou Peigong.

"It should be true!" Zhou Peigong's face was solemn at this time, he pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "In this strangulation rebellion, the strategy of the imperial court is to pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement - the so-called Fu should refer to the front of the army, attacking and dividing, so that the enemy army can be chaotic without a fight; The so-called suppression should refer to the establishment of the prestige of the imperial court and the rectification of people's hearts. ——Now that the overall situation in Zhejiang has been decided, the imperial court here will definitely take suppression as a residence, and use killing to deter wrongdoing and appease the place, while Fujian will take pacification as a residence, inducing Geng's army brigade to surrender without a fight and destroy its root cause! ”

Lin Feng suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, Kangxi's policy turned out to be so cunning, he surrendered to the enemy army, and cut Liwei for small fish and shrimp like us, which is pitiful and ridiculous, he actually blindly trusted the history textbooks of his previous life, resulting in a desperate situation today. originally thought that he had counted others, but he didn't know that others had already counted himself, or as the old saying goes, the organs were exhausted, but they missed Qingqing's life.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled miserably, stood up, bowed deeply to the generals under the hall, and arched his hand, "I, Lin Feng, can't stand all the brothers, everyone has no way out today, it's all my Lin Feng's sin!" ”

Zhao Guangyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Don't blame yourself, if it weren't for you, maybe everyone would have died on the battlefield a long time ago, how can you be so free today!" He held Lin Feng's hand tightly, "Don't be discouraged, my lord, we didn't have the same way out that day, you didn't bring us out anyway, you can definitely come up with a good way!! ”

Liu Laosi suddenly pulled out his waist knife, shook it in his hand, and shouted, "That's right, my lord, the fourth child has been a soldier for so many years, you are the best leader we have ever met, you saved everyone in the first place, and your rotten life was also picked up by you, and now I don't worry about eating and drinking with you, and I also send silver to women, and the people don't hate us, and we live a caring and comfortable life." This time it's our bad luck, how can I say that it can't be blamed on your head, people live for a lifetime, and the damn has to be righteous and conscientious," he crossed his eyes and looked at the generals next to him fiercely, "Who is fucking unconvinced, and wants to find trouble with adults, then you have to ask us Liu Laosi first if he agrees to the knife!! ”

"Not bad, not bad!! I can trust you, there must be a way! The generals expressed their support.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and arched towards the generals, and said in his heart that when he reached this step of the field, I still had a way, so he reluctantly turned around and bowed to Zhou Peigong, and said sincerely, "Old Zhou, I'm tired of you, you have nothing to do with us, and I will never be difficult for you to be a friend, so you can pack up and go to Laita's side!" ”

Zhou Peigong looked at him in a daze for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "'In the past'? Which way to go?! In the current situation, can I still get through?! He shook his head at Lin Feng of **, "According to the "Great Qing Law", one of I, the magistrate of Linji County, did not report it, and the other did not die for the imperial court!! ”

Lin Feng felt a lot of guilt in his heart, according to the original appearance of history, this old brother would be prosperous and rich and powerful for a while, but now because of his appearance, all of them disappeared, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and said, "It's all the little brother who is not good, and it has affected my uncle and aunt, as well as the relatives and friends of the Zhou family!" ”

"'Aunt and uncle?' 'Relatives and friends of the Zhou family? Zhou Peigong suddenly burst out laughing, he pointed to his nose, "The whole family of the Zhou family is here, my family is the least troublesome, cut off my Zhou family's bloodline and cut off the roots." ”

Lin Feng was stunned, then understood, and said with a wry smile, "You're still joking here, you really don't know whether to live or die!" ”

Zhou Peigong smiled slightly, then smiled, and said with a serious expression, "What are the general's plans?!" ”

Lin Feng also calmed down at the moment, anyway, it's a big deal now, he came to this world in a daze, and he was considered to have died once, so what are you afraid of? pondered slowly in his heart, and said slowly, "At this moment, the Qing army is very strong, and our army has absolutely no chance of winning with only four or five thousand people, and this battle must not be fought!" He walked back and forth slowly, "However, the west, south, and north are all locked by the imperial army, and our army cannot advance or retreat, and it is indeed extremely difficult." He raised his head and looked at Zhou Peigong, who was sitting precariously, "Does Peigong have any good ideas?!" ”

Zhou Peigong smiled slightly, but he didn't make a sound, his eyes slanted, and he only looked at the ** student standing on the side.

Lin Feng followed his gaze, was suddenly stunned, and lost his voice, "The sea?!! Then he frowned, "Where can you go at sea?!" ——Back to Fujian in the south, there is the invincible sailor of the Zheng family in Taiwan, which is a dead end for eggs to hit stones; If you go east and go deep into the sea, you will cross to Fuso in the east, what the fuck are you going to give little Japan***?? That Lao Tzu would rather fight with the Qing army! ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Zhou Peigong, who was smiling and silent, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was suddenly stunned by his thoughts, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, licked his chapped lips, and asked in a trembling voice, "Mo Fei, Mo Fei...... Pei Gong means...... North?!!! ”

Zhou Peigong immediately smiled, his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was extremely nervous, he took a deep breath, leaned into Lin Feng's ear, and lowered his voice word by word, "The carp jumps over the dragon gate and rides the wind into the ninefold !! ”

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Peigong in a daze, neither agreeing nor objecting, silent for a long time, he slowly turned his head, wandering around the small hall, his face was red and white, suddenly nervous, suddenly happy eyebrows, thought for a long time, raised his head suddenly, and met the eyes of his generals at a glance, these eyes were full of expectations and trust, all of them looked nervous, and they were staring at themselves for a moment at the moment, but no one dared to come out to interrupt his train of thought.

Looking at these simple men, Lin Feng Huo Ran stood up, finally calmed down, and ordered loudly, "**Sheng!" ”

"The last general!"

"Prepare the ship, Lao Tzu will give you 100,000 taels of silver, you go to the fishing village now, find your pirate friends, find a boat for Lao Tzu, the bigger the better, the more the better, the faster the better, this time tomorrow, Lao Tzu will be able to see it, at least 5,000 people, if you do a good job, Lao Tzu will have a heavy reward, but if there is one less position, Lao Tzu will cut off your head!"

"Obey! - At this time tomorrow, adults will either look at the ship or look at my head!! "** Confidently and loudly answered.

"Zhao Guangyuan, Liu Laosi, Wang Dahai!!"

"The last general!"

"Order the three armies, immediately gather the troops and pull out the camp to the east, assemble in the fishing village where our Chinese army is located, and camp on the beach tonight!"

"Obey!!"

The generals rushed out, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Peigong with a smile on his face, and suddenly a burst of irritability hit his heart, and he couldn't help but pull out his waist knife, and with a "whoosh" sound, he split the wooden table in front of him in two, gritting his teeth and sneering, "Kangxi, you bastard!" Slash and kill - fuck see who dies first!! ”
