Chapter 402: The Three Good Princes
Li Tianzhi put forward conditions on behalf of Lu Fatzi, and Geng Jingzhong, who took the initiative to negotiate peace, could not agree, and under the condition that the local strength was not too disadvantaged, he surrendered his hand to the Fat Army to sacrifice the entire territory of Zhejiang, and he also had to bow down to Lu Fatzi who ran into the Wanghai Tower of Jingnan Wangfu to beg for himself, and saluted and paid tribute, and his self-esteem was very strong, and Geng Wangye naturally couldn't swallow this breath. [No pop-up novel network]
There is a more critical point, it took countless manpower and material resources to defeat most of Zhejiang, as long as Geng Wangye did not get into the water in his head, it was impossible to easily agree to the conditions of the Fat Army, so after receiving the reply from the Fat Army, the first thing Geng Wangye did was to overturn the table in front of him, scold Lu Fatzi and Li Tianzhi's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, and muster up the courage to go out of the city again for a decisive battle, and strive to use force to drive away the Fat Army's southern expeditionary army, which was entangled like the gangrene of the bones.
It's a pity that Geng Wangye wants to fight a decisive battle, but Li Tianzhi doesn't want to fight a decisive battle, needless to say, the consequences of losing the decisive battle are needless to say, and winning the battle will only cheapen the letter of the monk Zheng Jing, so as soon as Geng Wangye's army was dispatched, the fat army immediately divided into two ways, the main force retreated across the Dongyang River and stationed on the west bank, and a part of the army hid in the small city of Lanxi and defended it behind closed doors, and fought with the main force of Geng Wangye with strong city artillery, even if he had the opportunity, he refused to break the enemy, Geng Wangye could not attack several times, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the weight of grain and grass was also consumed. had no choice but to retreat to Jinhua City, and the main force of the Fat Army calmly crossed the river and continued to bite Geng Wangye's tail.
At this point, Geng Wangye only had three choices left, one was to agree to the humiliating conditions of the fat army; The second is to divide the troops into two routes, leaving a part of the army to defend the major cities in Zhejiang, and the other part quickly returns to Fujian to fight a decisive battle with Zheng Jing, who copied the nest of Prince Geng - but this decision is equivalent to a two-front war, and the division of forces is not only easy to be broken by each one, but also is likely to recruit Shang Zhixin's jackal and fall into the danger of a three-line hard battle.
The third option was put forward by Liu Yunxiang, Geng Wangye's henchman, behind Geng's back, that is, to send an envoy to clear Zheng Jing, recognize the land obtained by Zheng Jing in Fujian, use the existing control area as the boundary of the truce, and join forces to meet the aggressive fat army. Liu Yunxiang also believes that in the face of the powerful fat army, Geng Jun and Zheng Jun are actually already in a relationship of dead lips and cold teeth, if Geng Jun perishes, Zheng Jun doesn't want to have a good life! In the same way, if the Zheng army perishes, Geng Jun should not want to be alone in front of the fat army, instead of choosing to give in to the fat army and kill Zheng Jun, it is better to join forces with Zheng Jing to kill the fat army, first consolidate the interests already gained in Zhejiang, and free up his hands to regain the Fujian land that was robbed by Zheng Jing!
I have to admit that although Liu Yunxiang's proposal is crazy, it is absolutely correct strategically, no matter who Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing fight alone, they cannot be the opponents of the Fat Army, the only way is to give up the contradictions and disputes and work together, so that Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing can achieve a win-win situation. And our Geng Wang Ye has been confused for most of his life, and finally came to his senses at this life-and-death moment, and after thinking about it again, he resolutely made a wise choice, and sent Jiang Yuanxun, who was talented in export, to rush back to Fujian at night and go to Quanzhou to meet Zheng Jing to ask for a truce, and borrow troops to resist the southern invasion of the fat army.
Because Wenzhou was still under the control of Geng's army, Jiang Yuanxun immediately boarded a sea ship and headed south after arriving in Wenzhou, but it didn't take long to arrive in Quanzhou. At the same time, Taiwan's Zheng army, which got rid of the burden of Hangzhou, has captured Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xinghua, Shaowu, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Longyan and Tingzhou under the strong control of the fat army, and has greatly increased its strength, and has basically gained a firm foothold on the mainland, and has also surrounded Yanping Fucheng, the largest grain producing place of Geng Jingzhong's army, Geng Jingzhong's uncle Geng Jishan barely kept the lonely city of Yanping in a vicious battle, but it was also more than half of the army's casualties, the city was crumbling, and sent a letter to Geng Jingzhong for help three times in a row. The situation is precarious.
As soon as the ship approached the Quanzhou wharf, he immediately identified himself to the Zheng army team on the wharf, and presented a gift to ask Zheng Jing to meet him immediately. It's just that Jiang Yuanxun never dreamed that his normal request was rudely rejected by Zheng Jing, and he replied and ordered Jiang Yuanxun to get out of here immediately, so that Geng Jingzhong could wash his neck and wait for death. Jiang Yuanxun secretly scolded Zheng Jing, but he still refused to give up, and stayed in front of Zheng Jing's line gate and pleaded repeatedly, and asked Zheng Jing's personal soldiers to report again, just to see Zheng Jing.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanxun's luck is not bad, Zheng Junyin, the official of the official department, happened to come to Zheng Jing Xingyuan on business to ask for a meeting, and happened to bump into Jiang Yuanxun, after listening to Jiang Yuanxun's intentions, Chen Junyin, who was very strategic, immediately realized that the opportunity was coming, and hurriedly asked Jiang Yuanxun to wait for the time being, and went in to persuade Zheng Jing to meet Jiang Yuanxun. And after Chen Junyin's painstaking persuasion, Zheng Jing finally agreed to meet Jiang Yuanxun.
After Jiang Yuanxun explained his intention in front of Zheng Jing and the civil and military officials of the Yanping Palace, Zheng Jing and most of the civil and military officials of the Yanping Royal Mansion not only did not rejoice because Geng Jingzhong took the initiative to sue for peace, but laughed wildly together, Zheng Jing also laughed: "Lord Jiang, your Geng Wangye's head must be in the water, right?" This king and Prince Lu Yifeng have long had an alliance, and the north and south are attacking you, and you Geng Wang Ye still want to make peace with this king? Let this king be treacherous, lose his trust in Lord Lu, and lose his trust in the world? ”
"Back to the prince, this is not a matter of losing faith in the world, it is a matter of losing one's lips and teeth." Jiang Yuanxun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your army is the tooth, our army is the lip, if our army is destroyed and your army is isolated, the time has come for Lu Yifeng to attack your army." ”
"This doesn't have to be a worry for this king." Zheng Jing replied proudly: "This king has already signed an alliance with Lu Yifeng, and after killing Geng Jingzhong's child, this king and Lu Yifeng have drawn the border of Fujian Province as a frontier, not to invade each other, and to join forces against the Qing Dynasty!" Lu Yifeng's credit is hundreds of times stronger than that of your Geng Wangye. ”
"Lu Yifeng is indeed true to his word, which the envoy admitted." Jiang Yuanxun said-for-tat: "But the little envoy can see that Lu Yifeng's so-called good credit is just to keep his promise when he feels that he should keep his promise, and when he feels that abiding by his promise will endanger his own interests, the so-called credit is not worth half a penny in his eyes." ”
"Alarmist, what's the evidence?" Zheng Jing snorted coldly.
"Of course there is." Jiang Yuanxun replied loudly: "The little envoy does not dare to deceive the prince of Yanping, although our army has been fighting with Lu Yifeng for several months, but the secret envoy contact has not been broken, our army asked Lu Yifeng for peace, Lu Yifeng did not refuse, but only proposed to ask for the entire territory of Zhejiang, and with our Jingnan Wangfu to demarcate the border of Fujian Province as the boundary. It can be seen from this that Lu Yifeng's alliance with your army is just to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, drive our army back to Fujian and kill each other with your army. ”
Jiang Yuanxun's words finally made Zheng Jing serious, and the civil and military officials in the Yanping Palace's palace also exchanged heads, whispering, and discussing the possibility of this matter in a low voice. On the one hand, Chen Junyin took the opportunity to go out and saluted Zheng Jing and said: "Lord Wang, I think that Lord Jiang is reasonable, Lu Yifeng is known for his deceit, and several important strategies after Wu Fan raised troops were all from his plan, and now he is forming an alliance with our army to fight Geng, and on the other hand, he is secretly breaking ties with Geng's army, making peace in private, and trying his best to urge Geng Jingzhong's main force to return to Fujian, the purpose is very insidious and simple, that is, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and borrow Zheng Jing's knife to kill us. ”
Zheng Jing's eyes rolled wildly, and he began to waver, never thinking that Chen Shenwu, a Taiwanese military officer who was one of the culprits who caused the breakdown of the Zheng Geng alliance in history, jumped out, pointed at Jiang Yuanxun's nose and asked: "You are here to slander Prince Lu Yifeng with red lips and white teeth, and provoke the relationship between our Yanping Mansion and Yue Wangfu, and your words are unfounded, what evidence do you have?" Bring out the evidence in black and white! ”
Jiang Yuanxun was stunned, and then he discovered another layer of insidiousness of the fat man, the fat army and Geng Jun secretly contacted no less than ten times, but none of them fell on paper, all of them were verbal answers, and he went to find evidence to prove that he didn't tell a lie?
"Can't take it out, can you?" Chen Shenwu observed his words and looks, and saw Jiang Yuanxun's embarrassed expression, and immediately understood that Jiang Yuanxun had no evidence at all, and in triumph, Chen Shenwu turned to Zheng Jing and said: "The prince, please check clearly, Geng Jingzhong sent a messenger here to talk nonsense, plant slander, and its purpose is just to sow discord between our army and the Great Zhou army, and break the alliance between our army and the Great Zhou army. ”
Zheng Jing shivered, and suddenly remembered that the last time he didn't save the fat army, he almost caused the fat army to start a war against him, and finally returned his hands to Hangzhou Heaven to calm Lu Fatzi's anger, this time if he was moved by Geng Jingzhong's messenger again, and turned his face with Lu Fatzi, then not only would the Fat Army definitely have to retaliate, but he would also leave a reputation among the Han people through the ages.
"Lord Wang, it's not that the little envoy can't come up with evidence, it's really that Lu Yifeng is too cunning." Jiang Yuanxun hurriedly explained: "Our army has secretly contacted Lu Yifeng at least ten times, and the envoy has even met Lu Yifeng once, but Lu Yifeng is cunning and abnormal, and he has not left ink or paper every time, all of them are verbal answers!" The envoy can even be sure that with Lu Yifeng's deception, unless a formal agreement is reached, Lu Yifeng will definitely not leave any evidence for our army! ”
"There is no evidence, of course you can say whatever you want." Chen Shenwu sneered: "When you deceive our prince into turning his face with the prince of Yue, even if you find out that you have been deceived, your goal will be achieved." ”
"If Lord Jiang, if you just say it and it counts, then I can say the same." Liu Yinglin, the former general of Geng Jun Huaiyuan, who surrendered from Geng Jingzhong's team to Zheng Jing, also said in a strange manner: "Prince Yue also sent someone to tell me yesterday that after he caught Geng Jingzhong, he was going to burn Geng Jingzhong into the toilet like he did with Emperor Mangou and give it to our Yanping Palace. ”
Except for Chen Junyin and a few others, the other civil and military generals of the Zheng Army all burst into laughter, Jiang Yuanxun was angry, but it was inconvenient to refute. It just so happened that Chen Yonghua returned to Taiwan again, and seeing that Zheng Jing did not open his mouth to stop it, the civil and military officials of the Zheng Army headed by Chen Shenwu and Wu Shu were even more unscrupulous, and they all opened their mouths to persuade Zheng Jing not to believe Jiang Yuanxun's nonsense, which ruined the current good situation, and attracted the jackals, tigers and leopards of the Fat Army, and Zheng Jing, who was dedicated to loyalty, despised Geng Jingzhong very much, and did not consider joining forces with Geng Jun to fight fat.
In the end, Zheng Jing finally waved his hand to interrupt the noise of the generals, smiled and said to Jiang Yuanxun: "Lord Jiang, this king heard the name given to you, and I also know that you are very talented, but Geng Jingzhong has no eyes, and he is not very important to you, this king is very sorry for you, and wants to keep you under his command to listen to it, and join hands with this king to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if you have this interest?" ”
Jiang Yuanxun's face began to turn blue, although Jiang Yuanxun really can't be reused by Geng Jingzhong, and often sighs that he doesn't meet talents, but this does not mean that Jiang Yuanxun wants to betray Geng Jingzhong and take refuge in Zheng Jing, who is more eye-catching than Geng Jingzhong, so Jiang Yuanxun quickly gritted his teeth and replied: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, but the loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, although Jiang Yuanxun is not talented, he is not willing to do the thing of selling the master for glory!" ”
"That's up to you." Zheng Jing was not reluctant, and said with a relaxed expression: "Then you go back and tell Geng Jingzhong that this king and Lu Yifeng have already had an alliance in advance, and I want this king to abandon the alliance and break his promise, and dream!" ”
"Lord Wang!" Chen Junyin walked out quickly, knelt down on his knees and said: "Lord Wang, please think twice, forming an alliance with Geng Jingzhong will be beneficial to our army without harm, not only can we buy time to consolidate the eight counties of the mainland, but also can recuperate and preserve our strength, and we can borrow Geng Jingzhong's power to block the more dangerous Lu Yifeng for us!" ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Chen's words are not bad." Jiang Yuanxun also said in a dying struggle: "Forming an alliance with our army and using the existing land as the boundary to cease the war, our army is the northern barrier of your army, and your army can also free up its hands to attack the south with peace of mind, kill Shang Zhixin to seize Guangzhou, Shaozhou and Nanxiong, and cut off Lu Yifeng's wings in Liangguang, which will benefit your army without harm!" ”
"Lord Wang, please don't fall for the trick!" Chen Shenwu shouted: "Geng Jingzhong'er has repeatedly been untrustworthy, he deceived our army and Lu Wangye to turn their faces, and deceived our army to start a war against Shang Zhixin, and he suddenly formed an alliance with Lu Wangye to go south, our army was attacked in the north and south, how to resist?" ”
"Yes, my lord, last time Geng Jingzhong promised to let us land in Quanzhou, before the ink dried, he immediately sent troops to intercept our army, continued to move the border and forbid the sea, and killed countless soldiers and civilians in Taiwan, this is a bloody lesson!" Several Zheng Jun civil and military officials shouted. When it came to this old incident, the Zheng Jun people who had been fooled by Geng Jingzhong's treachery were even more indignant, and they all opened their mouths to echo and resolutely oppose the truce with Geng Jingzhong.
"What's the noise?!" Zheng Jing shouted, drank the excited Zheng Junwen and military generals, and pointed to Jiang Yuanxun and said: "Well, for your good words, this king will give you a chance, go back and tell Geng Jingzhong that it is okay for him to make an alliance with this king, but he must give up the entire territory of Fujian so that this king can believe in his sincerity!" ”
Zheng Junzhong laughed again, praising Prince Zheng's wise decision-making, only if Geng Jingzhong cedes the entire territory of Fujian, it is possible for the Yanping Palace to cooperate with Geng Jingzhong. Jiang Yuanxun lowered his head in despair, Chen Junyin also closed his eyes helplessly, and scolded in his heart together, "Rats, a bunch of fools!" ”
Jiang Yuanxun returned to the dock disappointed, and when he boarded the ship to prepare to go north, Chen Junyin was the only one in Yanping Palace, who rushed to see Jiang Yuanxun off, and brought Jiang Yuanxun even worse news - the main force of the Zheng army, which was reinforced by Liu Guoxuan's fresh army, had broken through the city of Yanping Mansion, Geng Jingzhong's uncle Geng Jishan was lucky enough to break through the siege and fled to Jian'an City, the city of Jianning Mansion in the north. Discussions have begun on how to attack Fuzhou and Jianning to eradicate Geng Jingzhong's last forces in Fujian.
Hearing this news, Jiang Yuanxun could only smile bitterly, and Chen Junyin smiled even more bitterly, knowing that the disaster of war was inevitable, and Geng Jingzhong's main force might soon bow to the fat army, turn around and kill Zheng Jing. After sighing, Chen Junyin kindly persuaded again: "Master Jiang, if you don't stay, you just go back like this, I'm afraid that Prince Geng won't forgive you." ”
"What's the use of staying?" Jiang Yuanxun sighed: "Although there are a lot of troops in the Yanping Palace, on the land battlefield, how can they be the opponent of the main force of our Jingnan Palace?" When the main force of our prince returns to Fujian and drives your army back to Taiwan, I will not only be unable to escape death, but also leave behind the infamy of being a traitor seeking glory, and it will be stinking for thousands of years. ”
Chen Junyin sighed, knowing that what Jiang Yuanxun said was all the truth, and seeing that Jiang Yuanxun had made up his mind, Chen Junyin was not reluctant, so he could only sigh and send Jiang Yuanxun to the sea ship and sail back to Wenzhou. And when Jiang Yuanxun stepped on the springboard, Chen Junyin suddenly said to him again, "Master Jiang, although you and I are both loyal to the master, but you and I have failed, it is not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, our defeat can promote the faster reunification of the Chinese country and make the people of Li suffer less from the war. ”
Jiang Yuanxun was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and then walked to the seaship and ordered the boatmen to set sail.
……………………
As Jiang Yuanxun and Chen Junyin expected, after receiving the news that Zheng Jing refused to cease the war and Zheng Jun captured the grain-producing area of Yanping Mansion, Geng Wangye, who was trapped at home and abroad, was completely desperate, Zheng Jing in the south wanted his life in Fujian, and Lu Fatzi in the north wanted his Zhejiang, and there was also Shang Zhixin sharpening his knife Huo Huo who was ready to cut meat from him, Geng Wangye was three heads and six arms, and he couldn't stop so many enemies from attacking at the same time.
In desperation, Geng Wangye had no choice but to reconsider accepting Lu Fatzi's humiliating conditions, but when things came to this point, Geng Wangye suddenly discovered that in fact, the conditions offered by the Fat Army were not very harsh - compared with Zheng Jing, it is also the most beneficial for Geng Wangye to surrender to the Fat Army at the same time, because the Fat Army has the strongest comprehensive strength, and giving in to the Fat Army can not only avoid the strongest enemy, but also allow Shang Zhixin to turn his gun and attack Zheng Jing, and at the same time, he can also get a sum of money and food compensation from the Fat Army to maintain the war to recover Fujian, but it's not such a good thing to give in to Zheng Jing - it's good if the poor Zheng Wangye doesn't stretch out his hand to Geng Wangye.
After thinking about it again and again, on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the first year of Honghua of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong finally sent his second son Geng Xianzu and his henchman Liu Yunxiang to envoy the Fat Army, requesting to start armistice negotiations, and promised to submit the title of minister to the Fat Army with the honor of the President and General of the Great Zhou Dynasty previously sealed by Wu Laohan, promising to abide by the edict of Emperor Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty of Wu Laohan, accept the jurisdiction of Lu Fatzi, and promise to give up the entire territory of Zhejiang, and Geng Jingzhong's army will fully return to Fujian.
Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang were warmly received by Li Tianzhi and Li Zhifang in the fat army camp - Geng Jingzhong sent his son to ask for a truce, which already represented enough sincerity, and Li Tianzhi and Li Zhifang naturally would not deliberately make things difficult again. It was also at this time that Li Tianzhi finally showed Lu Fatzi's edict of King Yue, announcing that Lu Fatzi canonized Geng Jingzhong as the king of Jinghai of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the reputation of the regent of the Great Zhou, rewarded the prince with double salaries, and named Geng Xianzhu, the eldest son of Geng Jingzhong who stayed in Fuzhou, as the prince of Jinghai, and Geng Xianzu as the first-class Haicheng Duke, and Geng Jingzhong's relatives and main subordinates also had their own rewards.
In addition, Li Tianzhi also announced an unexpected decision on behalf of Lu Fatzi, that is, the Fat Army considered that Geng Jingzhong had only two state capitals left in Fujian, Fuzhou and Jianning, and the strategic depth was too small, so Geng Jingzhong could not transfer Wenzhou Mansion for the time being, and allowed Geng Jingzhong to garrison troops in Wenzhou before recovering half of Fujian's state capital, and then hand over Wenzhou to the Fat Army!
The fat army took the initiative to give in the case of taking the advantage, Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang were of course overjoyed, and then Geng Xianzu timidly said to Li Tianzhi: "General, my father still has a reluctant request, my father sacrificed more than 100,000 soldiers in order to take Zhejiang for the Great Zhou, and spent countless money and food, and now my father handed over the entire territory of Zhejiang to Lu Wangye, can Lu Wangye compensate a little?" ”
Speaking of this, Geng Xianzu hurriedly added: "Don't misunderstand, general, my father is definitely not greedy, most of my father's several grain-producing areas have been robbed by Zheng Jingxiaoer, especially Yanping Mansion, which accounts for more than forty percent of Fujian's grain, and has also been robbed by Zheng Jingxiaoer. Without Prince Lu's support for money and food, it would be difficult for my father to recover the entire territory of Fujian for the Great Zhou court. ”
"Second prince, how much do you want?" Li Tianzhi asked with a smile.
Geng Xianzu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously: "General, that little nephew has the courage to speak, my father hopes that Lord Lu can support 100,000 stones of grain and grass, 500,000 taels of military salary, 1,000 Sanhao rockets, 1,000 grenades, 1,000 Mihao Molotov cocktails, and 30 sea boats." ”
Li Tianzhi didn't speak, his expression was still a little surprised, and Liu Yunxiang next to him saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "General, if your army is short of military supplies, our prince will not force it, these numbers can be discussed." ”
Li Tianzhi and Li Zhifang both laughed, Li Tianzhi picked up another list, handed it to Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang, and said with a smile: "This is what our prince has prepared for you, 150,000 stones of grain and grass, 800,000 taels of military salary, 2,000 rockets and grenades, 3,000 Molotov cocktails, 50 sea bird boats, and 20 sub-cannons and supporting ammunition. ”
"Really? The Great General and Master Li are not joking?! Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang jumped up together in surprise, seeing Li Tianzhi and Li Zhifang smiling and nodding together, Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang were so excited that they held Li Tianzhi and Li Zhifang's hands together, and said in a loud voice: "Good prince, affectionate and righteous, it is really a good prince!" ”
After Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang happily returned to Jinhua City to report the good news to Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong was surprised by the benevolence and righteousness of the Fat Army, and he did not hesitate to sign the seal of the minister. On the second day, he personally went to the camp of the Fat Army, saluted and knelt to receive the Great Seal of King Jinghai that Lu Fatzi had prepared for him, and became the first Great Zhou vassal king since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and negotiated with Li Tianzhi in person all the details of the transfer of the entire territory of Zhejiang, and on the first day of the first month of February, he gave up Jinhua City, led the army back to Wenzhou, and ordered the three places of Chuzhou, Taizhou and Quzhou to hand over the defense to the Fat Army, withdraw to Wenzhou and assemble, and prepare to start a war to recover the entire territory of Fujian - to recover for the Great Zhou court.
It was also on the way to withdraw the troops that Geng Wangye found that the taste was wrong, and the money and food he paid in order to capture Zhejiang was not only three or four times that of 150,000 stone military rations and 800,000 taels of silver military salaries? Fat Lu only took out a third or even a quarter of the capital - or paid in installments, and took away all the profits, why should he be grateful to him?
"Phew! Annihilator! Geng Wang Ye spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and scolded again, "Great annihilation of merchants!" ”
Note: Zheng Jing's refusal of Geng Jingzhong's request for peace is not fictional, there is a real thing in history, in history Geng Zheng formed an alliance, Zheng Jing took advantage of the opportunity of Geng's main army to go north to Zhejiang, and indeed captured all the state capitals of Geng Jingzhong's nest in Fujian Province except Fuzhou, Jianning and Yanping. Even so, in order to unite and resist the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong did not transfer back the main force to resist the Qing Dynasty to counterattack Zheng Jing, showing a rare strategic vision and a relatively broad mind.
Later, Jieshu led the Qing army into Fujian, besieged Fuzhou and Yanping, Geng Jingzhong sent his right-hand man Wang Jingong to Quanzhou to ask Zheng Jing for help, but Zheng Jing not only did not send a soldier to rescue Geng Jingzhong, but also forcibly left Wang Jingong as the governor of Taiwan, Kuang Mingbo. Geng Jingzhong was forced to surrender Jieshu, and then immediately led the remnants of Geng's army to launch a counterattack on Zheng Jing, and it took only ten months to recover the entire territory of Fujian and drive Zheng Jing back to Taiwan - but unfortunately, Geng Jingzhong was recovered for Kang Mazi, and five years later, Geng Jingzhong was deceived by Kang Mazi to return to Yanjing, and Ling Chi was executed.
