Chapter 255: Zheng Hongkui's Crisis Promoted to Marquis
Zheng Chenggong led his men day and night, and finally rushed to Quanzhou Mansion, but the major event had been decided, and the rescue was too late, and the entire Zheng Hongkui's troops were instigated by Shi Fu, and due to the troubles of the Longwu Ming Army and the Yongli Ming Army, Zheng Hongkui swayed, and was finally instigated by Shi Fu, and then exterminated by Wei Wuji's army.
Shi Fu was smashed into flesh by a cannonball, and in addition to barely recognising his body, Zheng Hongkui also left only one head intact.
This change made Zheng Chenggong very regretful.
In the face of the siege of the navy led by Zhou Congee, most of Zheng Hongkui's ships and warships were all smashed into the sea, and there was no one of the pirates who fled and surrendered, Zheng Hongkui's tens of thousands of troops killed each other and almost lost everything, only 3,000 people were captured, only more than 2,000 escaped, and the rest of the missing people were more than 8,000 people.
Zheng Chenggong's sailors belong to the new creation, which is Zheng Chenggong's little by little, collected from his Lao Tzu's old deployment after his Lao Tzu left, and recruited and re-formed in the nearby coast, and the era of Zheng Zhilong and others has passed.
In order to comfort Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Qiang handed over the rest of Zheng Hongkui's captured men and ships to him to take away, as well as Zheng Hongkui's head.
And Quanzhou Mansion was also occupied by the Jinhua Righteous Army.
As many as 10,000 people died as a direct result of the war, as many as 30,000 people were injured or missing, as many as 50,000 people fled the war, commerce came to a standstill, houses in the city and even in the countryside were seriously damaged, as many as 500,000 displaced refugees, more than 1,000 people were killed at the city gates, and as many as 3,000 people were rescued.
And Wei Wuji also fell into the infamy of a butcher general, but Wei Wuji didn't care, but was happy because of such an infamy, this is an honorary title.
In the following months, as commerce resumed, and as the population flowed, his reputation for brutality spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Wuji's prestige overshadowed the prestige of the Jinhua Rebels in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knew that the Jinhua Rebels had a butcher general, and some of the Qing soldiers trembled when they heard it.
Just when Longwu ordered Zhang Liang to take his group of eunuchs and staff to Jinhua Mansion, ready to discuss the handover of Quanzhou Mansion and Chaozhou Mansion, Xiao Fei led two brigades of Jinhua Righteous Army in Chaozhou Mansion with the Qing army of Ma Degong who crossed the river fiercely, continuous firepower, platoon guns shot, artillery bombardment, infantry assault, archers and crossbow archers to cover the raid, cavalry battalion pursuit, the Qing army hated the riverside, Ma Degong led the 10,000 Qing army Han army banner and 20,000 Yongli Dynasty Ming army surrendered troops, As well as the families of the landlords and gentry near Chaozhou and Canton, 5,000 people were scattered, and less than 1,000 fled back to the west bank of Canton.
It can be called a great victory, Xiao Fei was ordered to garrison the Chaozhou Mansion, and dealt with Hu Kui and Feng Wuyu in the Guangzhou Mansion on the west bank.
Chaozhou Mansion was recovered, Zhangzhou Mansion was recovered, Quanzhou Mansion was recovered, Tingzhou Mansion was where Longwu Xing was located, Ganzhou Mansion was surrounded on three sides, although Geng Jingzhong had Korqin Mongols and Khalkha Mongols who retreated to Ganzhou Mansion, as well as the Han Army Qiqing Army who retreated to Ganzhou Mansion, as many as 80,000 troops, but they were helpless, because Su Guansheng and Qian Bingrup went to the front line from time to time and commanded the Longwu Ming Army to encircle and suppress it.
With the support of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army, the front-line commander-in-chief of the Longwu Dynasty, Huang Youbin, Zhang Tianlu and other generals were unable to take Ganzhou Mansion for a while, but they forced the Qing army to continuously send troops to reinforce Ganzhou Mansion, which contained many troops of the Qing army in the southeast.
In Quanzhou Mansion, Wei Wuji sent Ruan into Zhangzhou Mansion to garrison and lead the men and horses of his headquarters and the 7th Field Brigade.
Then began to restore commerce, repair the city walls, resettle refugees, and clean the streets.
Wei Wuji was able to manage both the civil affairs and the army, so Zhou Congee was transferred back to Jinhua Mansion.
Zhang Qiang declared him the governor of Zhejiang and took over the civil affairs of Zhejiang.
Milin was transferred back from the front line and continued to serve as quartermaster, managing all the military supplies of the Jinhua Rebels, as well as food and finance.
Zhu Dadian resigned from all his posts and was then appointed Counselor of the Governor's Office, responsible for the Governor's Office's financial revenues and expenditures and diplomatic relations with foreign dynasties.
It is equivalent to the great butler of the Jinhua Righteous Army.
Compared with Zhu Dadian, Zhu Dadian's family, Zhu Dadian is better at financial management and management, for his military talent, Zhang Qiang can only say that under the situation of cold weapons and diplomacy, he can still fight, but in the face of Zhang Qiang's comprehensive firearms troops in this era for a century, Zhu Dadian's talent is completely insufficient to command any army, and even a cold weapon unit is not competent.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang asked Zhu Da to pawn the housekeeper is more than enough, the people were originally the talents cultivated by the feudal dynasty in order to train high-level officials, and they have unique characteristics in terms of communication, prestige, and literary talent, but in actual implementation, he still does not see enough.
That is what our party calls retreat, all high-level officials need to be competent in retreat, and low-level officials need execution and creativity.
After the adjustment, Zhang Qiang ushered in Zhang Liang and others in the Governor's Palace.
and Zhang Liang and Zhang Qiang are very familiar.
Without the arrogance and conceit of a eunuch, there are those who are as treacherous and sociable as ever, good at negotiation and compromise, and it is very good for such a person to be a minister or a diplomat.
"What did Gonggong Zhang come to teach this time?" Zhang Qiang asked with a smile.
"I have given a salute to the Governor, entrusted by the emperor, to discuss with the Governor about Quanzhou Mansion and Zhangzhou Mansion, as well as Chaozhou Mansion, you see that although the Governor sent an army to take back these places, but the local government is managed, the Emperor feels that the Governor should not be allowed to be more beautiful, after all, you are a courtier, and it is right to serve the emperor." Zhang Liang raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiang's eyes.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'll arrange someone to hand over immediately, but I don't know that once our army leaves, who will take care of the safety of the three mansions?" Zhang Qiang asked.
"The emperor also explained that the security of the three provinces is under the jurisdiction of the Jinhua Righteous Army, which means that the Jinhua Righteous Army can be stationed in the three mansions, and the military expenses are arranged by the imperial court." Zhang Liang said.
"This is pretty much the same, since that's the case, I'll withdraw most of the army, and you can recognize yourself as an official in the Sanfu and then manage it, but-" Zhang Qiang bowed his head and muttered.
"The emperor also knows that this is a bit unreasonable, but as a courtier, you must understand the emperor's difficulties, and now everything is in ruins, and the country has not been fully restored, so if you need compensation, the emperor said that you can only compensate you in name." With that, he took out a decree from his sleeve.
"Governor of Zhejiang, loyal and brave Uncle Zhang Qiang received the order-"
Zhang Qiang stood up and arched his hand: "The minister will accept the order." ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, Longwu nine years, the governor of Zhejiang, loyal and brave Uncle Zhang Qiang, sent an army and the Qing army and rebels, Shi Fu, Zheng Hongkui fought fiercely in Quanzhou Mansion, recovered Quanzhou Mansion, Zhangzhou Mansion, and all the way to the army recovered Chaozhou Mansion, in response to the defenders of Guangzhou Mansion, so the Governor of Zhejiang Zhang Qiang was promoted to the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the officials of the subordinate territories were sent by the imperial court, and the security and defense tasks were garrisoned by Zhang Qiang, the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and at the same time promoted Zhang Qiang, the Loyal and Yongbo, to the Marquis of Jinhua, and rewarded jade belts, jade pendants, and swords......"
I read a lot of things, and made Zhang Qiang and his subordinate officials a big seal, everyone has merit and official positions.
