In all fairness, in fact, whether it is in the original history or in the history of Lu Fatzi's changes, Prince Geng Jingzhong is a very unlucky, very sad and at the same time there is no lack of shining points of the anti-Qing righteous man, and at the same time, even if he uses an anti-Qing hero to describe our Geng Wangye, it is not impossible. [No pop-up novel network]

In the original rebellion of the three feudatories in history, our Geng Wang Ye was the anti-Qing force that eliminated the second most executioners of the Qing Dynasty on the battlefield, second only to Wu Lao Han Annihilation, far better than the Zheng Army in Taiwan, which is known as the most staunch anti-Qing army, and is even stronger than Shang Lao Han and his son, who were completely anti-Qing Dynasty. But it's a pity that Geng Wangye was extremely unlucky to meet Kang Mazi, an opponent who was as good as a god, and even more unlucky to stand up to Zheng Jing, an ally like a pig who can only fight a civil war and desperately reuse the hardcore Han Annihilation, and was finally forced to surrender, and was tricked into Yanjing Lingchi by Kang Mazi to be executed, and his two sons were also beheaded, and they were also angrily scolded by the mite Qing history books as "ugly and vulgar" and "surname is dangerous".

The vicious ugliness of the history books of the Qing Dynasty is actually a fair evaluation of Geng Wangye's anti-Qing achievements, and it is the greatest affirmation. Although Geng Wangye is sorry for his hardcore Han annihilation father Geng Jimao and grandfather Geng Zhongming, they are typical unfilial descendants, but Geng Wangye has at least done something worthy of his compatriots.

In this period of history changed by Prince Lu, our Geng Wangye's performance was actually equally dazzling, because of Geng Wangye's strong containment, the weak Wu army was able to break through the Yangtze River moat and grasp the strategic initiative; Because of Geng Wangye's strong containment, Kang Mazi was forced to empty the Qing army in the hinterland of Jiangnan, and Lu Fatzi got the opportunity to enter Jiangnan; At the same time, it was also because Geng Wangye took care of the overall situation, and did not transfer the main force back to Fujian to fight a civil war with Zheng Jing, an ally like a pig, and held back the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang for the fat army that had not gained a stable foothold, and won precious time for the fat army to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be said that Lu Fatzi and the Fat Army can rise rapidly, and Geng Wangye is the behind-the-scenes hero who is on par with Wu Laohan.

Later, Geng Wangye and the Qing army joined forces to flank Lu Fatzi, from the perspective of the Fat Army, it is indeed an unforgivable crime, but from an objective point of view, Geng Wangye and the Fat Army turned their faces into enemies, and the biggest responsible person was Lu Fatzi - the selfish Lu Fatzi did not want to provide food and grass to Geng Wangye at all, and Geng Wangye's envoy teased Lu Fatzi's fiancée, but it was just an excuse to send Lu Fatzi and Geng Wangye to turn their faces. At that time, if Fat Lu could take care of the overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty, be less selfish and pull a little bit of the economically weak Geng Wangye, the Fat Army and Geng Jun would definitely not turn against each other, and the Fat Army would not have fallen into the dilemma of being attacked from all sides later.

At the same time, the facts also proved the gap between Geng Wangye and Zheng Wangye, and Zheng Wangye, who was treated well by Lu Fatzi, did not have the slightest consciousness of knowing how to repay his kindness, and also betrayed the Fat Army at a critical moment, and found various excuses to refuse to help the Fat Army. Therefore, although Lu Fatzi didn't say it, he hated Zheng Wangye in his heart, but in fact, his hatred for Geng Wangye was a hundred times deeper, and deliberately letting Geng Wangye's main force withdraw to Fujian was also the first step to retaliate against Zheng Wangye.

The merits and demerits of the descendants have their own public evaluation, but in any case, in the case that some of the vitality is still alive and the monks still have the strength to fight, Geng Wangye chose to surrender to the fat army, and decided to accept Lu Fatzi's withdrawal conditions and hand over the territory and military power, of course, there are selfish factors of greed for life and fear of death and objective reasons for helplessness, but for dealing with Fujian compatriots, Geng Wangye has made a great contribution to the establishment of Fu, so that countless Fujian compatriots have avoided the suffering of civil war, and saved the precious lives of countless Fujian soldiers. At the same time, it also made the situation on the southern front of the Fat Army clear in an instant, and the advantages of the Fat Army became more obvious.

On the second day of the first month of August, Geng Jingzhong led the civil and military officials to open the north gate of Fuzhou, and presented the official seal of the surrender table and the register of officers and soldiers to Li Tianzhi, the general of the fat army's expedition to the south. He also issued a military order, not allowing the officers and men of the Fat Army who took over the defense of Fuzhou to harm the soldiers and civilians in the city, and not to take any property or property in the city, and allowed Geng Jingzhong to bring his family property to live in Beijing with his wife and children. Geng Jun was greatly grateful, and the people's hearts were settled.

Immediately afterwards, the three prefectures of Shaowu, Yongchun and Xinghua, which were still controlled by Geng Jingzhong, also laid down their arms and opened the city gate to surrender to the Fat Army, and all the officers and soldiers were treated well by staying in their original posts and receiving a month of salary, and Zeng Yang, the general of the Geng Army, who was surrounded by the Fat Army, Shang Zhixin Army and Zheng Army in Longyan on three sides, did not do a dying struggle, and chose to surrender to the Fat Army Wang Jinwu and accept the command of Wang Jinwu.

The news was transmitted back to Li Tianzhi, and Li Tianzhi immediately went to Wang Guodong, the general of the Shushang army, and ordered him to stop attacking Longyan and attack Zhangzhou to the east instead, and start a war against Zheng's army. At the same time, Li Tianzhi asked Guo Yingfu to send troops south from Yanping, and the reinforcements were still relatively weak on the Longyan battlefield, and unified the command of Wang Jinwu, Liu Jinzhong and Zeng Yang's surname on the Longyan battlefield, and then let his deputy Yang Yingyuan lead 20,000 fat soldiers into Xinghua Mansion, ready to launch an attack on Quanzhou, Li Tianzhi stayed in Fuzhou to personally preside over the military affairs of the reorganization of Geng's army, and Li Zhifang took office as the governor of Fujian to assist Li Tianzhi in forming the local government of the fat army in Fujian.

Li Tianzhi can become one of the four major generals of the Fat Army, that is, he has the two points of seniority and loyalty to Lu Fatzi, and his military ability is not as good as Gao Dejie, Han Daren and Wang Xu, who are the four major generals of the Fat Army, and his political ability is not as good as that of Lu Fatzi. Wang Guodong, who only wanted to preserve his strength and was dissatisfied with Li Tianzhi's accusation of killing prisoners, also used this as an excuse to refuse to accept the order, and also took Wuping County, Tingzhou, which was no longer defended next to Shanghang County, and ransacked Wuping County.

When the movement of Shang Zhixin's army was transmitted back to Fuzhou, Li Tianzhi, who was expelled from the Pingnan Palace, was inevitably furious, and almost wanted to send troops to attack Shang's army, and immediately launched a war to recover Guangdong. Fortunately, Li Zhifang, who was the acting governor of Fujian, was calmer, grabbed Li Tianzhi and told Li Tianzhi that the biggest enemy of the Fat People's Army in Fujian at present was Zheng Jing and a small number of remnants of the Geng army who refused to surrender, and the most important errand was also to quickly stabilize the situation of Fujian's new occupation and expel Zheng Jing. Therefore, Li Zhifang suggested that Li Tianzhi take political means to solve this matter, one is to write to Shang Zhixin and ask Shang Zhixin to put Wang Guodong's army under the command of Li Tianzhi, and the other is to go to Lu Fatzi and ask Lu Fatzi to decide how to deal with Shang Zhixin next.

"Is it possible to let Shang Zhixin hand over Wang Guodong to me for command?" Li Tianzhi asked suspiciously: "Besides, Wang Guodong's gang of wastes will only drag their feet on the battlefield, and they will also make the newly surrendered Fujian army dissatisfied, even if he wants to take command over, what else can he do besides adding chaos?" ”

"Shang Zhixin is unlikely to agree." Li Zhifang replied with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, it's better if Shang Zhixin doesn't agree, with the surname and style of the prince, you will soon be able to make excuses to Shang Zhixin without an excuse." If Shang Zhixin promised to be better and the command was in his hands, he was afraid that he would not be able to borrow Zheng Jing's hand to kill Wang Guodong's team? ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhifang's smile was even more deceitful, and he said with a smile: "Wang Guodong is a fugitive from Shang Zhixin's banner that he bought out with 100,000 taels of silver, and he is Shang Zhixin's number one henchman in the army, and the team in his hand is also the main force of the Guangdong Shang Army. Li Tianzhi suddenly realized, and immediately followed the plan after laughing.

Li Zhifang's bad idea is indeed a bit too bad, and it also gave Shang Zhixin a big problem, Li Tianzhi asked Shang Zhixin for the command of the Kingdom Dongjun in the name of facilitating unified command, and sent the letter to Guangzhou to Shang Zhixin to ask for the command of the Kingdom Dong Army, Shang Wangye was dumbfounded, and also scolded the ungrateful former subordinate Li Tianzhi on the spot, and at the same time felt embarrassed, and wanted to refuse, the relationship between Shang Wangjun and the Fat Army, who had just entered the honeymoon period, was bound to have twists and turns, and it was likely to arouse Lu Fatzi's dissatisfaction, and even make Lu Fatzi suspicious, suspecting the true intention of Shang Wangye to install an army of Shang Wang who did not obey the command in the hinterland of Fujian.

If you agree, the command of the army will be handed over to the fat army, and the life and death of the main elite of Shang Wangye will be taken away, but it will be at the mercy of others, how can the ambitious Shang Wangye rest assured? How can I endure it?

Shang Wangye's command also has capable people, who once personally promoted Jin Guangzu, who was bigger than Jackie Chan and served as the governor of the Qing Dynasty and Guangzhou, who was removed from all positions after surrendering to the Wu army, loyally gave Shang Wangye a good idea, suggesting that Shang Wangye transfer all Wang Guodong's team back to Guangdong and withdraw from the Fujian battlefield, so that Li Tianzhi could not find an excuse to ask for military power, and Lu Fatzi could not find an excuse to attack. Most of Shang Wangye's other henchmen and lackeys also agreed with this compromise method, which not only did not offend Lu Fatzi, but also avoided accidental losses.

Of course, there are also objections, at least Shen Shangda, the male pet who controls the housekeeping of the feudal mansion for Shang Wangye, is resolutely opposed - friends don't have to doubt their eyes, our Shang Wangye is indeed a two-way plug, Shen Shangda was originally a good boy bought by Shang Wangye from Jiangxi, because his appearance is as beautiful as a woman and he is very good at bed kung fu, he is deeply favored by Shang Wangye, and he is authorized by Shang Wangye to participate in the military and political decision-making of Pingnan Wangfu, and his speech in front of Shang Wangye is very weighty.

Our 'Shen Meiren' thinks so, the Fat Army forced Geng Jingzhong this time, Shang Wangjun contributed a lot, and he paid money and food to supply the Fat Army's army in the Chaozhou enclave, and directly sent troops to help the Fat Army kill the enemy, annihilating the main force of Geng's famous general Bai Xianzhong, there are merits and hard work, Lu Fatzi is Shang Wangye's brother-in-law, and he should repay it, so 'Shen Meiren' suggested that Shang Wangye send a messenger to see Lu Fatzi, and asked Lu Fatzi to take out the entire territory of Fujian Tingzhou Mansion to repay Shang Wangye - if he can take Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, which is directly north of Guangzhou, Of course it's even better.

Of course, Shen Meiren's words caused an uproar in the Pingnan Palace, and Shang Zhiying, Shang Zhijie, and Shang Zhihuang, several of the more intelligent younger brothers of Shang Wangye, simply scolded - with the unscrupulous virtue of Lu Fatzi, who would rather die than suffer losses and desperately take advantage, he reached out to him to ask for territory, not looking for death?

Shen Meiren argued on the basis of reason, and also took out the example of Lu Fatzi giving Hangzhou to Zheng Jinghe and lending Wenzhou to Geng Jingzhong, and strongly advocated reaching out to Lu Fatzi for land. And Shang Wangye's other henchmen Zhang Yongxiang, Zhang Shixuan's brothers and Marquis also fell in favor of Shang Wangye, and echoed Shen Meiren's suggestion, feeling that they should try their luck, even if they can't succeed, it is not too late to withdraw Wang Guodong's team to Guangdong.

In order to find some land from Geng Jingzhong to make up for the loss, our Shang Wangye resolutely decided to send an envoy to Lu Fatzi to stretch out his hand and ask Lu Fatzi to take out Tingzhou and Ganzhou to repay him, as well as return his own Chaozhou Mansion and withdraw Liu Jinzhong's team to Fujian - if not, we will slowly discuss other solutions.

In order not to anger his brother-in-law, who already has an absolute advantage in strength, Shang Wangye decided to let his youngest sister, Lu Fatzi's first wife, Shang Wanqin, go to be this messenger, under the pretext of returning Shang Wanzhen, and let Shang Wanzhen go to Yanjing to blow pillow wind in Lu Fatzi's ear, instigating Lu Fatzi to compensate his wife's maiden brother - even if he fails, Lu Fatzi looks at his wife's face, and it is inconvenient to turn his face, and Shang Wangye can also calmly seek other ways to resolve disputes and contradictions.

Some friends may ask, did our Lord Shang take the wrong medicine or burn his head? Shang Wanzhen is such a good hostage, how can he be willing to return it to Lu Fatzi, take Shang Wanzhen as a hostage, and force Lu Fatzi to exchange land? Although the words are reasonable, the question is, does our Lord Shang dare to do this? Shang Wanzhen is his own sister, how can he threaten Lu Fatzi with Shang Wanyan, and threaten Lu Fatzi with the life of his sister Shang Wanyan? Regardless of whether the threat succeeds or not, Shang Wangye's reputation is completely stinky, and even if the threat is successful, Lu Fatzi exchanged the land for his wife, Shang Wantian left Shang Wangye's grasp with his front foot, and hundreds of thousands of angry fat army soldiers can step on the Pingnan Wangfu with their back feet!

So there is no way, Shang Wangye's smartest and wisest choice, that is, to use his sister to play the family card, and take the initiative to return his sister, which can not only save food and expenses, but also make Lu Fatzi owe a favor, even if the request is rejected by Lu Fatzi, it is inconvenient for Fat Lu to turn his face and have a seizure. Fortunately, when Shang Wangye explained his plans to his sister Shang Wanzhen alone, Shang Wanyan agreed to his brother's request in one bite, promising to persuade Lu Fatzi to repay his brother.

"Idiot!" Looking at the back of his brother leaving happily, Shang Wanyan sneered in her heart, "I have done so many immoral things, I didn't find a way to let my father-in-law forgive me earlier, and I even wanted to ask for land and remuneration from him, I really don't know how to write dead words!" But it's okay, the old lady returns to Xianggong, and at least she can leave some incense for the Shang family in the future. ”

When Shang Wanzhen was escorted to Fujian by Shang Wangye, the fat army took the surrendered Geng army as the vanguard, and was already in full swing in the northern part of Quanzhou, the western part of Zhangzhou and Zheng Jing's team, and the Fujian army betrayed by Zheng Jing and Shang Zhixin in turn was determined to take revenge, and fought vigorously, and the superior cavalry of the fat army was a nightmare for Zheng Jing's team in the field, and was killed by the fat man and retreated, and the land that was finally grabbed when the main force of the Geng army went north was constantly taken away by the more ferocious and cunning fat army, even Zheng Jing himself, was also worried that he would be surrounded by the fat army and unable to get out of the mainland, so he fled back to Taiwan with Feng Xifan and Chen Shenwu and other henchmen early in disgrace, and threw Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to Liu Guoxuan, Lin Ying and Wu Shu and other generals to guard, and although Liu Guoxuan and other generals did not live up to the trust given by Zheng Jing, they did their best to resist the offensive of the fat army, but the overall strength difference was too big, and they were defeated in successive battles, and it was only a matter of time before they were driven back to Taiwan by the fat army.

Hearing the news that Shang Zhixin had returned Shang Wanzhen, Li Tianzhi ordered Guo Yingfu, who was in charge of the battlefield on the southern front, to send heavy troops to protect Shang Wanzhen to the north, and personally led the army to Yanping Mansion to meet Shang Wanzhen, and met with Shang Wanxian's team outside Shaxian County in Yanping Prefecture. When they met again after five years, Li Tianzhi, who was expelled from the Pingnan Mansion because of an accident on the way to Beijing, and Shang Wanzhi, who is still not used to being called the princess and happened to have a bad relationship with Lu Fatzi in Fujian, were inevitably full of emotion and tears flowed from each other.

Choked in front of Li Tianzhi for a long time, Shang Wanzhen finally hoarsely voiced and asked Li Tianzhi with tears in her eyes: "He ......, is he okay?" ”

"Him?" Li Tianzhi was stunned at first, and then quickly came to his senses, wiped away his tears and replied: "Back to the princess, the last general has not seen the prince for more than two years, but the last general has written to the prince many times to say hello, and the prince has replied that he is in good health, so that the last general does not have to worry, and please don't worry about the princess, princess, you will soon be able to meet the prince again." ”

"He's good, it's good." Shang Wanzhen nodded slowly, and suddenly sneered without the teasing of the fat man Lu, smiled and asked Li Tianzhi again: "General Tianzhi, when you and the dead fat man escorted me to the capital and passed through Fujian, did you ever think that the dead fat man would have today?" Have you ever thought that you could also have today, bring troops to Fujian for that dead fat man, beat the princes and magnates who showed off their power on you and the dead fat man back then, and forced them to kowtow to the dead fat man? ”

"At that time, the last general never dreamed of it." Li Tianzhi replied honestly: "The last general was expelled from the Pingnan Palace, and the reason why he chose to join the prince is indeed because the last general feels that the prince is definitely not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he will be able to get ahead. Back then, Prince Geng, who didn't even need to look at the last general, would also kneel down and surrender to the last general. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianzhi also showed a smile on his face, and saluted Shang Wanyan and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the princess, the last general met the prince, and also thanks to the blessing of the princess, the last general made the most correct choice in his life." As he spoke, Li Tianzhi pointed to Brother Zhang Yongxiang, the confidant of Prince Shang who nodded in the distance and had a flattering face, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, the last general will definitely have to be like them now, groveling here to greet the other generals of the prince." ”

Shang Wanyan smiled again, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Your choice at that time was the most correct choice in your life, what about my choice at that time?" Right? Or is it wrong? ”

Li Tianzhi didn't dare to speak, but he also somewhat understood some of Shang Wanyan's thoughts, when Lu Fatzi was at the end of his life, Shang Wanzhi did not hesitate to leave his parents and be expelled from the genealogy in order to choose Lu Fatzi. Now that Lu Fatzi has gotten ahead and even gained power in the world, Shang Wanzhen has been deprived of the qualifications of Lu Fatzi's wife because of his family background, his father and brother's involvement, and his son has also been taken hostage by Lu Fatzi's enemies.

Fortunately, Shang Wanzhen did not continue on this issue, and after wiping away the tears on her emaciated cheeks, Shang Wanzhen whispered to Li Tianzhi: "General Tianzhi, can I ask you for one thing?" ”

"Princess, please command." Li Tianzhi hurriedly stood up.

"No, it's not an order." Shang Wanyan shook his head slowly, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I am pleading, I know that the dead fat man will not let my father and my brother go, attack Guangdong, exterminate the Pingnan Palace, sooner or later he will hand over to you." I also know that my father deliberately wronged you by driving you away, using you as a scapegoat, and covering up the ugliness of his two sons who fought for power and profit by killing their sisters, you are very innocent and aggrieved. ”

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, although I don't want to object to the fat man doing this, but, as a daughter of the Shang family, I want to ask you for the sake of our Shang family to raise you Chengren, and leave a little mercy on our Shang family in the future, my father has been so sick that he hasn't gotten out of bed for a year, don't let him die the fat man's captive anymore, go to suffer those humiliations, give him a good time."

"The last general understands, please rest assured princess." Li Tianzhi nodded solemnly, and said in a low and serious voice: "If there is really such a day, the last general will definitely not let the prince be humiliated again." What about the eldest prince, do you have any orders, princess? ”

"Him?" Shang Wanyan smiled sadly, and said helplessly: "Until now, he is still thinking about cutting meat from the dead fat man and dividing the territory from the dead fat man, how can the dead fat man tolerate him?" If I intercede for him again, it will only hurt you, and if possible, you can leave him a whole corpse, and I will be satisfied. ”

Li Tianzhi pursed his lips and nodded solemnly, "Princess, please rest assured, the last general remembers." ”
