Chapter 499: Liu Guoxuan bears Jing
Under the strategic deployment of Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty, all of Zheng Zhilong's reliance was defeated, and foreign forces such as Portuguese colonists, Dutch red hairs, and Oriental foreigners supported Zheng Zhilong, and all of them became paintings.
Liu Guoxuan was captured, Xianxia Pass was lost, the Ming army was overwhelmed by 800,000 heavy troops, and his own son and brother carried out military admonitions, all of which made Zheng Zhilong disillusioned, because the anger and fire attacked the heart and body could not bear it, and the psychological defense line completely collapsed, so Zheng Zhilong unconditionally accepted the Zhao'an.
In fact, for Zheng Zhilong, it is not the first time to accept the imperial court's recruitment, his first time is to accept the recruitment of Emperor Chongzhen, that time Zheng Zhilong from a big pirate and sea merchant, arms dealer and other complex multiple identities, transformed into an important member of the Ming court, Nan'anbo Fujian Town, and became a high-sounding veritable king of Fujian.
This time, he accepted the imperial court Zhao'an headed by Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, with the first time, Zheng Zhilong is also familiar with the imperial court's recruitment.
However, this time is obviously different from the last time, in the Chongzhen era, the imperial court's recruitment of him was obviously a sense of appeasement, because the imperial court whip was beyond the reach of the whip, and there was no power to exterminate him, and his power was too huge at that time, so large that his private navy could overturn the fleet of the sea overlord Dutch Hongmaozi, so huge that the imperial court was helpless.
The imperial court had no choice but to adopt a policy of appeasement like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, as it did with thieves such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and grant them official positions to give them benefits, so that they could still support the Ming Dynasty and not make trouble, which was just an expedient measure.
But this time in front of him is completely different, this time Zheng Zhilong accepted the court's recruitment, which obviously had an element of force. The Ming army pressed the border, cut off its wings, Zheng Zhilong was left with only a lonely city, internal rebellion, rebellion and separation, if Zheng Zhilong no longer knows the current affairs, it will definitely be wiped out, there is no suspense, and there will be no second possibility.
Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong is not a tendon, and Lin Yi's strategy for him is not to play the piano to the cow, which can be described as appropriate.
Because Lin Yi knew that, theoretically speaking, if Zheng Zhilong could accept the recruitment of Emperor Chongzhen, he would be able to accept the recruitment of him, the Ming Prisoner; In history, Zheng Zhilong was able to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he should also be able to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
As it turned out, Lin Yi was completely right. Zheng Zhilong was cornered, and he didn't want to perish, so he had to obediently bow down and be a subordinate.
Although Lin Yi also knew that Zheng Zhilong's character was not very good in history, when he knelt in front of the city gate with the so-called civil and military ministers, lifted the dragon crown, dragon robe, jade seal, etc. above his head, and knelt down to greet Lin Yi, Lin Yi was still very happy.
Because it can make Zheng Zhilong obediently accept Zhao'an, this is a significant thing after all.
This can be regarded as giving Zheng Chenggong a few thin faces, and it can be regarded as allowing him to make meritorious contributions, Zheng Chenggong will be grateful in the future, and he will be more loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to his Ming Dynasty.
More importantly, the peaceful settlement of the war in Fuzhou has relieved the local people from the suffering of the war, and the merit is immeasurable. At this time, Zheng Zhilong, including his Imperial Forest Army, still had tens of thousands of horses in Fuzhou City. If he resists stubbornly, swears not to surrender, sticks to the city and fights with the Ming army, and resists to the end, it is not difficult for the 800,000 army to break through the city together, but the casualties of the soldiers and civilians are incalculable, and the losses are incalculable.
The peaceful settlement of this war has undoubtedly benefited these Lebanese people, soldiers, and civilians and saved their lives and property from being ruined.
Of course, such a major event as the success of the operation is worth rejoicing.
At this time, the gate of Fuzhou City was opened, and the southern army generals defending the city all threw swords and guns to play white flags, and then gathered on the spot to stand by.
Zheng Zhilong and his civil and military officials took off their official uniforms, took out all the official seals, and knelt outside the east gate to greet Lin Yi, the Ming Prison State. At this time, the official road was full of Ming troops, like a mountain of soldiers, swords and guns like a forest, bright armor, and soldiers.
The great commander Shi Lang was fully armed, sat on a horse, and commanded thousands of horses and thousands of troops to be ready for battle. Zhang Hua of the Guard Battalion and Ma Luan, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, had already arranged a guard, and they followed Lin Yi's side left and right.
Near the city gate, Lin Yi dismounted. Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and others followed.
Lin Yi looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army and the civil and military officials of the Southern Army present, took the dragon robe, dragon crown and jade seal from Zheng Zhilong's hand, and announced on the spot: "Zheng Zhilong lives in Fujian, causing trouble in nine provinces, and the crime is unforgivable." However, the prison country has the virtue of a good life, and his son Zheng Chenggong and his brother Zheng Hongkui can restrain themselves from the precipice and make immortal contributions to the imperial court, Zheng Zhilong is also willing to repent and reform, willing to surrender the city, and continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Pardon Zheng Zhilong and his gang for their innocence, and all the crimes committed by them will not be blamed in the past, because of their meritorious service in dedicating the city, they will be crowned as the king of the south, Zheng Chenggong will be crowned as the young king of Nan'an, and Zheng Hongkui will be crowned as the chief soldier of Kinmen......"
Zheng Zhilong and these people really didn't expect that this Lord of the Prison Country would really do what he said and do what he said. In front of so many people, he announced that they were not guilty, and he was also crowned with his official position, the emperor's grace was so immense, so that Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhiguan kept kowtowing upwards, some kowtowed, and shouted while kowtowing: "Thank you Lord Jianguo, the emperor's grace is vast, and the dragon's eyes are gracious, we will swear to serve the court to the death, never judge each other, the sun and the moon can learn from the ......" sound shocked the Han.
After Lin Yi entered the city, Zheng Zhilong had already vacated his palace for Lin Yi. Lin Yi moved in to work.
Next, Lin Yi gave Zheng Zhilong a special task.
At this time, someone took Liu Guoxuan from Funing Prison. Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Hongkui stopped the prisoner car and saw Liu Guoxuan, Liu Guoxuan was stunned......
Before long, Liu Guoxuan was shirtless and knelt down in front of Lin Yi to plead guilty.
Lin Yi laughed and pulled him up, "Ben Linguo also pardoned you for your innocence, and made an exception to seal you as the chief soldier of Fuzhou." May you be able to put aside your past suspicions and make new contributions. ”
Liu Guoxuan almost couldn't believe his ears, and then he was grateful, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and couldn't say a word......
A few days later, Zheng Zhilong took his wife and children, and the family waited until Nan'an Mansion took office and became a veritable king of Nan'an. After receiving the report, his wife of Sakura Country, Tian Chuan, took Zheng Zhilong's mother, maid, mother-in-law and other large families to greet him happily outside Nan'an Mansion.
Zheng Chenggong took Makiko Tagawa, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhiguan and others to see them off, and the family was reunited.
It was only after this mutation that Zheng Zhilong's body contracted an incurable disease, and he spent most of his time recuperating in Nan'an until he died a few years later.
After Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui and others sent Zheng Zhilong away, they returned to Fuzhou to continue to serve as king.
Now Fuzhou is of course not called Fujing, Lin Yi still changed her to Fuzhou.
It's just that the scale and luxury of this palace built by Zheng Zhilong are not as good as Yanjing and Nanjing, but they are still comparable to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's Xijing, and they feel comfortable and fresh when they live here.
Next, he began to list Anmin, confiscate and liquidate the Zheng family's property in Fuzhou, and put other booties of the Southern Army into the warehouse, and then distribute them.
According to the principle of voluntariness, those who are willing to serve as soldiers will continue to stay and serve as soldiers, and those who are not willing to serve as soldiers will be dismissed on the spot and let them return to their hometowns. The remaining willing to be these soldiers of the Southern Army, and then re-selected, qualified people are uniformly issued to the Ming Dynasty military uniforms and swords and guns, from now on they are the official soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the salary is issued according to the regulations.
Those unqualified soldiers will be discharged on the spot and persuaded to return to their hometowns.
Zheng Zhilong's so-called civil and military officials, although they did not punish their crimes, of course, it is impossible to reinstate all their officials, these people are registered, first in the original yamen standby, and wait for the Ming Jingshi cabinet to appoint officials to take office, unified rectification of the officials, and then decide their appointment, dismissal and retention.
These officers and officials of the Southern Army really didn't expect it to be so cheap, whether they were dismissed or stayed to accept the reorganization of the Ming Army, they all felt that they had picked up a big bargain, you must know that rebellion is the crime of raiding the house and destroying the door, and cutting off the head and going to prison is the lightest. Now that everything is gone, whether it is to continue to stay and serve as a soldier or to be discharged and return to the hometown, this is simply a huge bargain!
Therefore, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Southern Army, including hundreds of civil and military officials, are all grateful for the great grace of the Ming Dynasty.
The 800,000 Ming troops around Fujian, plus the soldiers of the Southern Army, nearly one million troops of King Qin in this area.
At this point, the Great Southern Empire established by Zheng Zhilong completely disappeared. The news spread to Yanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing, causing a sensation.
The officials of the six departments of the Yanjing Cabinet all wore their crowns and shook their robes to bow and worship in the direction of Fujian, including the crown prince Zhu Qiliang and others.
Zheng Zhilong surrendered, and southern Xinjiang was also pacified, a few years ago, it was still a great country with internal and external troubles, many holes, and was on the verge of extinction, and now it has become a great power of the Celestial Empire that is full of vitality and the unified exercise of sovereignty by the imperial court. The vastness of the territory and the praise of the people can be compared with the Taizu and Chengzu periods.
Thousands of sails on the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree!
Who can compare with such great achievements in just a few years? I'm afraid that Taizu will sigh to himself when he is alive and when he is reborn.
Gao Hongtu, the cabinet of the Jingshi, and others have secretly begun to plan for Lin Yi and Zhang Luodeng, the superintendent of the country. They believe that after the triumph of the superintendent class, this matter will inevitably be put on the agenda, and it is better to make plans and plans as early as possible......
Zheng Zhilong's matter was over, but Lin Yi knew that although Zheng Zhilong surrendered, the war was not over.
Next, he began to fight hard and plan for the expulsion of Taiwan's Hongmaozi to recover the treasure island. These red-haired people have stayed in Taiwan all these years, enslaved the local people, done bad things, lost their conscience, supported the reactionary forces of the imperial court against the Ming court, and the crimes they committed were too numerous to mention, and it was time to settle accounts with them.
