Chapter 123: The Resurgence of Longwu

End of April 647.

An astonishing piece of news spread throughout the land of China.

The Longwu Dynasty was like a bamboo, defeated the Qing army, recovered a place in Fujian Province, most of Zhejiang Province, and the Southern Ming forces had been reunited.

There is Shaowu in Guangzhou, and there are prefectures and prefectures in the land of Guangdong that serve in the Yongli court, and there are also prefectures and prefectures that serve in the Shaowu court, and Yongli stabilized his footing after fleeing from Wuzhou and Guilin.

Judging from the situation, Nanming actually has Yongli, Shaowu, Longwu, and the King of Lu on Zhedong Island, Lu Jianguo and other Southern Ming forces, Nanming still occupies half of the territory in the south, which is the largest in the territory of the Yongli Dynasty, they have Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other places, although the Qing army still occupies a lot of places in the back four places, and is on the offensive.

But the discerning people can see that this year, the momentum of the Southern Ming Dynasty is fierce, the Manchu Tartars have lost troops in the south, or they have not been able to attack for a long time, they are already in a declining situation, and they are almost unable to attack again, and many places are retreating, occupying some provincial capitals and big cities, desperately defending, and it is imperative for the Manchus to switch from offensive to defensive.

And all this, only King Lu and Longwu and others know that the person or force who influenced Nanming to have such a good situation was Zhang Qiang, a Jinhua rebel army that suddenly appeared.

From Ganzhou, Yanping, Jianning, to Quzhou, Jinhua, Taizhou, Wenzhou, this line, Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army is guarding, they are like a Great Wall, blocking the Qing soldiers outside.

After several final decisive battles of tens of thousands of people, the Jinhua Righteous Army led by Zhang Qiang successfully drove out the Qing troops in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

Of course, Zhang Qiang did not attack Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Hangzhou.

His Jinhua has already gone through a great war and suffered heavy losses, and he can only maintain such a front at present, protecting himself and the Longwu court from the harassment of the Qing army.

On May 2, Zhu Dadian, who disappeared from Tingzhou Mansion, led 2,000 righteous troops to appear in Shaowu Mansion and suddenly captured the land of Shaowu Mansion.

On May 3, he went to Fuzhou Mansion alone to meet Emperor Longwu, and was awarded the title of Secretary of the Military Department by Emperor Longwu.

On May 4, Emperor Longwu issued an edict, the emperor moved to the more prosperous Quanzhou Mansion, and ordered Su Guansheng to be the secretary of the household department, He Kai to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Bingrup to be the secretary of the criminal department, and Jin Sheng to be the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

Of course, Zhang Qiang was also rewarded, and Emperor Longwu made him the governor of Zhejiang, with jurisdiction over Jinhua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, Chuzhou Prefecture, Quzhou Prefecture, Wenzhou Prefecture, and Jianning Mansion.

Wei Wuji is the governor of Jinhua Mansion, Mi Chun is the prefect of Jinhua Mansion, Mi Lin is the general soldier of Jinhua Mansion, Yang Yangyang is the deputy chief soldier of Jinhua Mansion, Gu Yuesheng is the deputy commander of Jinhua Mansion, and Feng Wuyu is the general of Jinhua Mansion.

Zhou Congee is the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, Du Ge is the chief soldier of Taizhou Prefecture, and Zhang Ying is the Admiral of Taizhou Prefecture.

He Jin is the governor of the state capital, and Hu Kui is the chief soldier of the state capital.

Xuanyuan Longfei was the chief soldier of Wenzhou Prefecture.

Tang Dianfeng was the admiral of Jianning Mansion, and Lin Yang became the deputy chief soldier of Jianning Mansion.

General Ruan Jie was demoted to the general army of Yanping Prefecture, Zhang Tianlu was demoted to the general army of Fuzhou Prefecture, and General Liu Liangzuo was demoted to the general army of Quzhou Prefecture.

Xiao Fei was a general of Quanzhou Mansion, stationed in Quanzhou Mansion, protecting Emperor Longwu and other members of the royal family, as well as where he went.

Because Xiao Fei cut off Zhang Cunren's head and laid the foundation for the victory, Emperor Longwu was grateful to him, and loved him very much, promoted him from a hundred households to a high position as a general, and hoped that he could be stationed in Quanzhou Mansion to defend himself.

But Xiao Fei still wanted to return to Zhang Qiang's account to serve, Emperor Longwu found Zhang Qiang, and Su Guansheng, He Kai, a little bit of affection, moved with reason, and finally persuaded Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang did not want to be desperate and struggling, and finally was taken refuge by the original officials of the Ming Dynasty to drill his own credit, he had to find someone to watch Emperor Longwu.

Originally, he wanted to protect Emperor Longwu to return to Jinhua Mansion and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but how could Emperor Longwu, who had already had an experience, be fooled?

Just when Zhang Qiang led his troops to attack those empty territories, Emperor Longwu first went down to Fuzhou to ascend the throne, and then returned to the more prosperous Quanzhou Mansion to establish his court.

However, Emperor Longwu's shrewdness still cannot be guessed by ordinary people's thinking, he not only left Zhang Qiang's army to guard the front line for him, but even named Zhang Qiang as the governor of Zhejiang, and did not send Ming officials and Ming army generals to the territory where some Zhang Qiang's henchmen were stationed in Zhejiang, and the two sides silently abided by some invisible rules.

And the shrewd Zhu Dadian did not embarrass Zhang Qiang, all the captured materials were selected by Zhang Qiang's army first, and the Ming army was not sent to Zhang Qiang's territory.

He Kai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also got closer to Zhang Qiang, and as the Jin Sheng originally used by Zhang Qiang, this official kindly recommended some unknown but very talented scholars to Zhang Qiang to serve as the prefect and county under his rule, and maintain the normal operation of the local area for Zhang Qiang.

These are all unprescripted scholars, and they are very talented.

The war seemed to have come to an end at this moment, the Qing army was unable to attack Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and Zhang Qiang was unable to sweep the territory of the remaining prefectures in Zhejiang, so he guarded most of his territory and lived a leisurely life.

If there is anything unpleasant, it is that the captured Ruan Jie, the former Ming army general of King Lu, was reused by Emperor Longwu, who lacked generals, and served as the commander-in-chief of Funing Prefecture.

After Liu Liangzuo was captured, he had a good attitude, and he showed favor to Zhang Qiang and wanted to surrender.

Liu Liangzuo, this kid is more unlucky, originally his troops were the most left, but in the end, when he retreated, there was a conflict with Hu Maozhen's army, and when the two sides were fighting, Zhang Qiang led his troops to rush over, so he caught this guy again.

Ma Bao fled back to Yanping Mansion with the remnants of the defeated army, and was soon caught up, he fled from Yanping Mansion to Tingzhou Mansion again, because of the limited troops, Zhang Qiang did not chase again, leaving a part of the troops to guard the city of Yanping Mansion, and then led the army back to Pingnan County.

And Fan Shaozu was smarter, he didn't see it right, he fled by boat overnight, first fled to Zhangzhou Mansion, and then fled to Ganzhou, found that the Jinhua Righteous Army and Su Guansheng, He Kai's Ming army came to chase, and immediately fled to Tingzhou, and finally fled to Ji'an Mansion.

In short, Zhang Cunren and the Ming army generals and Han army banner soldiers he brought with him were all wiped out, Fan Shaozu, a diehard of the Qing army, fled, but Liu Liangzuo was caught again, and after some consideration, Zhang Qiang accepted him, and Emperor Longwu named him the chief soldier of Quzhou Prefecture.

After this war, in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, the Qing soldiers, who had lost nearly 200,000 troops, were no longer able to attack them.

This generation of Ming army generals who want to serve the Qing army, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty are diehard, and they are almost dead, and many of them are once more famous figures in history.

When he woke up, Zhang Qiang suddenly felt that the situation was very good.
