Zhou Lang has already entered Fuzhou City, just like Wei Lianli said, people here are panicked, and it didn't take much effort to conquer Fuzhou.

Of course, compared with Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the battle of Fuzhou took a little longer, and it took almost five hours to occupy the whole city.

But for a city like Fuzhou, five hours is basically equivalent to the speed of a march.

Compared with Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fuzhou was stationed in Xidi as a governor, and there were still many defenders. Among them, the garrison of the Eight Banners is not a vulnerable naval division, there are also 2,200 soldiers, in addition to Fuzhou is full of cities, the Eight Banners garrison more than 100 people, the population growth is more than the Han people, in addition to the regular soldiers, there are also nurturing soldiers and Yu Ding with meager salaries, etc., are issued weapons, and can participate in the war as an army when necessary. The Green Flag Battalion directly under General Fuzhou has two battalions, the left and the right, with a total of 36 officers and 1,575 soldiers.

The more numerous are the green battalion soldiers, which are the three armies of the Governor Biao, the Fubiao and the Fuzhou City Guard Association, which are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Governor of Fujian and the General Military Affairs Officer of the Admiral of Fujian and Fujian Land (commonly known as the General Army).

Among them, the superintendent is divided into three battalions, the center, the left and the right and the sailor battalion, the sailor battalion has fled in the water battle outside the city, and the superintendent battalion is led by the deputy general, with 958 officers and soldiers; The left and right battalions were both commanded by staff generals, each with 971 officers and men. The patrol pacesetter battalion is divided into two battalions, the left battalion is commanded by the general, and there are 803 officers and soldiers; The right battalion was commanded by guerrillas and consisted of 708 officers and men. The general army assistant battalion is also divided into two battalions, the left battalion is commanded by the metropolitan division with 1,247 officers and soldiers, and the right battalion is commanded by the metropolitan division with 1,401 officers and soldiers.

The total number of troops in Fuzhou exceeded 10,000.

However, there are many problems, one is that the garrison is scattered, and the other is that the command system is different, and the biggest problem is that the command system is chaotic.

According to the Manchu military system, theoretically the most powerful military force was under the command of the Fuzhou generals, that is, the garrison of the Eight Banners and the General Green Banner Battalion, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people, and the Green Battalion was under the jurisdiction of the governor, the governor and the general soldiers.

Although the Eight Banners of Fuzhou Garrison are mainly Han military banners, in addition to the rebellion of the three feudatories and the Kangxi period, there were also Han army bannermen as generals, and later they all began to serve as generals with Manchurian magnates, and the previous general was Kuilun. The purpose of the Manchu Qing was very simple, that is, to use the Manchurians to control the Han Eight Banners, and to use the Han Eight Banners to control the Green Battalion soldiers, and to unite the Mongols to rule the Han people.

In the context of small clans ruling large countries, the Manchu rulers were always most worried about internal rebellion. Therefore, let the generals of the Eight Banners command the strongest combat effectiveness in theory, which is enough to suppress the army in the hands of the governor, governor and other civilian officials, so that there will be no local rebellion.

However, if the whole system is working well, it can indeed achieve results, but once there is a problem in the whole system, there will be an embarrassing situation of preventing internal but not outside, and the general's army will instead become the support of the local suppression, which is the job that the police should do. A general can deter governors and governors, but not foreign enemies.

The green battalion is even more unbearable, in order not to let the magistrate have too much military power, a green battalion is divided into three parts, under the command of the governor, the governor and the general soldier, if it is a prepared and orderly war, it can also be calmly jointly managed, but when it comes to the encounter of Zhou Lang's sneak attack, it will be too scattered and unable to form a unified combat effectiveness.

The most serious thing is not actually a flaw in the system, but the suicide of Quiren.

Kui Lun was the general of Fuzhou before, after the governor Wu Lana and the governor Pu Lin were investigated, Chang Lin came to take over the governor's position, Kui Lun concurrently served as the governor, and later Chang Lin was transferred back, Kui Lun was promoted to the governor, his position as Fuzhou general was canceled, Qianlong appointed a general called Fuchang to take over, but the other party is still on the way, it is expected that it will take more than 12 months to arrive, according to the procedure and Qianlong's will, in Fuchang to take office money, the general seal continues to be kept by Kui Lun.

In other words, Kuilun continued to perform the duties of the general of Fuzhou before, and his suicide immediately left the garrison of the Eight Banners leaderless.

As for the Green Battalion, Quiren has succeeded Changlin as the governor, and the most powerful Governor Pacesetter in the Green Camp is under his jurisdiction, and after he committed suicide, these pacesetters are no longer under his control. In terms of the government standard, the governor Pu Lin was questioned, the new governor is the same as Fuchang, he has not yet taken office, and is in a vacant state at this time, and he was concurrently served by Kui Lun before, and Kui Lun's suicide also made the government standard lose its commander.

This is the real problem, due to the corruption case in Fujian, Qianlong or out of the prestige before the abdication, chose to support Kui Lun in Fujian Xing Prison, which led to the huge destruction of the Fujian bureaucracy, senior bureaucrats are seriously absent, Kui Lun alone held the three important positions of governor, governor and general, with a high degree of unity of power, so that he could send tens of thousands of troops to Fengshan County, but when he committed suicide, it also made most of the military forces out of control.

How the confusion caused by these circumstances is combined with the decay of the army, it creates an outrageous situation.

After Zhou Lang attacked the city, he found that the Qing army he killed did not even have a thousand, but the Qing army killed more than 2,000 people, they actually died in the internal fighting, under the pressure of the army to suppress the territory, the Qing army in Fuzhou actually appeared in the situation of fire.

The reason for the fire merger is that people can't laugh and cry, not for the difference of opinion on going to the front line to fight, but for the fire merger that took place to fight for the escape route, and the two sides of the fire merger turned out to be the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, and later after interrogation, it was found that the fire was provoked by the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners of Fuzhou Garrison were set up during the Kangxi period, and a total of four flags were stationed, including the yellow flag, the white flag, the white flag, and the blue flag, all of which were Han military flags. The station was in the east of the city, and the Four Banners Battalion was responsible for the opening and closing of the city gates and the defense. In the nineteenth year of Qianlong, four flags were added: yellow, white, red and blue, which were the eight banners of Manchuria.

History has developed to the end of Qianlong, although the Eight Banners are still respectful and inferior, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners consider themselves to be the first class of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but the degree of integration has been very high, the Banner people as an ethnic group have a sense of belonging, and the distinction between personal identity has become the Banner and the people, so the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Han Dynasty have a unified consciousness when they are in the green camp. Usually, they look down on the green battalion soldiers, and bullying and the like happen a lot.

The Eight Banners, who were accustomed to being high, were responsible for defending the city gates, with the intention of letting them be in charge of guarding important positions, but in the end, it provided them with the convenience of escaping.

When Zhou Lang's army pressed the border and Kui Lun committed suicide, after a brief discussion within the Eight Banners, he decided to "retreat", believing that the "thieves are powerful" and could not be defeated, and planned to retreat to Fuzhou Changfu Camp in Fuqing County near Fuzhou to hold on to wait for reinforcements, and unite with the imperial court to support the counterattack.

With these reasons and excuses, the Eight Banners, without the general presiding, decided to run away. But the Eight Banners are different from the Green Battalion, they have been stationed in Fuzhou with their families and mouths, and they have multiplied for several generations, and there are old and young people in the city, and no one is willing to give up their families. So their escape is almost like fleeing, and it takes a lot of time.

The Green Battalion also decided to flee when the dragons were leaderless, but at this time they found that the city gate was blocked by the Eight Banners, and they were not allowed to leave the city, but gave priority to the passage of the Eight Banners' families. The green camp suddenly felt that the Eight Banners wanted to leave them in the city to die, and the thieves even annihilated the 50,000 Fujian and Zhejiang troops, how could they hold on to this point, so they forcibly retreated.

After the officers of the Green Battalion failed to communicate with the officers of the Eight Banners, the incident of seizing the door finally occurred, and the Green Battalion did not intend to kill people at this time, but after the chaos occurred, people were bound to die, and most of the deaths were the families of the Eight Banners. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were used to being high, and they immediately became angry. surrounded the green camp, and at this time Zhou Lang had already begun to shell outside the city, which made the nerves of the Qing army in the city highly nervous, and he didn't know who moved the knife first, and started a bloody battle around the west gate, where the escape must pass.

The army in the city patronized the fire and merged, who would resist the attack of Zhou Lang's army, the fiercest resistance encountered after entering the city, actually came from a few civilian led family members, as for the Qing army killed, most of them did not have time to escape or hit the muzzle of the gun in a panic, and also accidentally injured some thugs who took advantage of the chaos to loot.

Of course, these thugs did not have the courage to retaliate, but after Zhou Lang stabilized the order in the city, many came to the door, claiming to be brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society, and came to have a relationship with Zhou Lang.

Soon after entering the city, there were serious disagreements within Zhou Lang.

The disagreement was not between his subordinates, but between Zhou Lang and his subordinates.

Represented by Wang Fuqian, they collectively made a statement to Zhou Lang, demanding that an all-out attack be launched on all parts of Fujian.

Zhou Lang didn't even have a plan to attack Fuzhou before, and his plan was still at the stage of opening up the Wuyi Mountain trade route, and he was seriously out of touch with the concepts of his subordinates.

Wang Fuqian came to Fujian with Harald and caught up with the battle to force Fuzhou.

Wang Fuqian knew that after Zhou Lang began to attack Zhangquan Erzhou, he was extremely excited, which means that Zhou Lang began to develop to the land, the meaning is completely different from the occupation of Fengshan County, in the eyes of Chinese literati, the weight of land is always much higher than that of the island, no matter how big Taiwan is, the geographical form of the lonely overseas cannot make the farming culture of the nation feel down-to-earth, so there is always a kind of land is the foundation, the mainland has always represented orthodoxy, and the island has always been just a pirate's lair, but a temporary refuge after the end of the road!

This prejudice in Wang Fuqian's heart made him very concerned about Zhou Lang's attack on Zhangquan, temporarily handed over the government affairs of Fengshan County, and followed Harald to Xiamen.

However, after Zhou Lang seized Fuzhou, Wang Fuqian did not directly put forward the idea of occupying all of Fujian, but proposed to stabilize Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and then try to forge ahead.

What made his mind suddenly change was that three days later, Qianlong Ming issued the will of the world to abdicate, this may not be a test of Qianlong's hearts and minds in the world, he wanted to test the attitude of the national bureaucracy towards his abdication, if there is no controversy in the world, I am afraid that Qianlong himself will be afraid that there will be no good result after the abdication. As a result, all officials who had the power to write directly throughout the country wrote to ask Qianlong to stay in office, and the princes of Manchu and Mongolia also expressed their allegiance to Qianlong.

The officials in the world are very smart, Wang Fuqian is also very smart, Qianlong so tossed, Wang Fuqian immediately thought that this is a good opportunity to compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the world, he put forward his judgment to Zhou Lang, very sure that the imperial power alternates, the Qing court will inevitably have a chaotic decree, and Fujian has just risen a prison, it is the time when the people's hearts are unstable, at this time to try to take Fujian, and then fight for the world with the Manchu Qing!

Wang Fuqian's proposition was supported by many subordinates, because no matter whether it was a civilian official or a military general, who did not want to make meritorious contributions.

This made Zhou Lang sigh that in the eternal mystery of Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, it may not really be Zhao Kuangyin's own planning, most of them are probably subordinates who are eager to make meritorious contributions, and Zhao Kuangyin is just half pushing.

It's just that Zhou Lang doesn't understand, why does Qianlong have to announce the news of his abdication at this time?
