In mid-May of the third year of Yongli, under the pressure of the army, the remaining prefectures and counties in Fujian surrendered one after another.

Except for some important positions, Zheng Chenggong appointed most of the original officials to remain in office.

Seeing that Fujian was all recovered, Zheng Chenggong left Lin Xishan, Gan Hui, and other generals to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Fuzhou, and he himself returned to Xiamen with Yao Qisheng, Wang Zhongxiao and others under the escort of Tiger Guard.

That night, the lights in the Xiamen Mansion were bright.

There are 100 banquets in the palace hall, Zheng Chenggong sits in the main seat in the hall, Yao Qisheng and Hong Xu are the chiefs on the left and right sides, Hong Xu is sitting on the first seat of the generals, and Yao Qisheng's next head is Lu Ruoteng, Zeng Ying and other civilian officials.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Chenggong stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone! ”

The noise and staggering of the banquet immediately subsided, and the hall was silent. Everyone put down the chopsticks and cups in their hands and looked at Zheng Chenggong quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's banquet is to congratulate our army on the successful recovery of Fujian! This first cup is to congratulate the meritorious soldiers on the front line, and it is their brave fight that can exchange for the victory of our army! ”

Zheng Chenggong immediately raised his glass and saluted in the direction of Fuzhou in the north, "Everyone, please drink this cup with me!" Dry! ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly raised their glasses and drank them all.

"This second cup is to pay tribute to everyone here for their dedication to defend Xiamen. With you, front-line soldiers can fight with peace of mind! ”

Zheng Chenggong picked up the wine glass full of wine again, saluted the audience, and drank it with a full mouthful.

Everyone present was full of excitement and hurriedly got up and toasted. He Sheng said: "I'm really ashamed, I can only do my best to serve the general!" ”

Let's talk about it. Everyone here hurriedly raised their glasses and drank them all.

Immediately, Zheng Chenggong raised his glass and said: "This cup is for those comrades who unfortunately died in battle!" ”

Hear Zheng Chenggong's words. Everyone in the room raised their glasses of wine.

After a few minutes of silence, Zheng Chenggong slowly spilled the wine from his glass on the ground, and the others followed suit.

After the three glasses of wine were toasted, Zheng Chenggong said happily and loudly: "Everyone, today is a day of great joy, everyone drink happily, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

As Zheng Chenggong toasted Yao Qisheng and the others, the lively atmosphere in the hall resumed.

Zheng Chenggong was busy honoring those loyal subordinates, and those subordinates were busy honoring the general.

Busy all night. When Zheng Chenggong returned to Zheng's mansion, it was already a mess, and he hurriedly ran to Caocong and vomited a few times before the money was better.

With the support of the green calyx, as soon as Zheng Chenggong lay on the bed, there was a whirring sound.

Over the past year, Zheng Chenggong has been working hard like someone chasing after him, and he has long been tired to death.

Now it's rare to indulge yourself, after a night of celebration. I woke up late the next day.

He didn't wake up until two o'clock in the afternoon, ate a bowl of stomach-warming porridge, and Zheng Chenggong sat in the Xiamen Mansion with several major civil and military officials, drinking a bowl of tea.

Chatty and chit-talk. Wang Zhongxiao said: "Fuzhou has been the provincial capital of Fujian since ancient times, and Fuzhou has Pingshan Mountain in the north, Yushan Mountain and Wushi Mountain in the south. A large ditch was dug outside the city, and three mountains stood up. A water circulation, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At present, Fujian's initial determination of the people's will is not stable. If you can move the state to Fuzhou, and the prestige of the general in the north and south of the river will be of great benefit to stabilizing the people's hearts! ”

Lu Ruoteng said with certainty: "If the general can move to Fuzhou, the capital of governance, and carefully rectify it, it will definitely be the foundation of the great cause in time." ”

"Zeng Mou does not agree with Yao's intention to join the army!" Zeng Ying said: "The north of Fuzhou is too close to the Qing army's forces, once the Qing army attacks from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and breaks through Ningde Mansion, it can be killed in one day, and the general's safety is unexpected." And Xiamen is surrounded by the sea on all sides, has a natural barrier, and is also guarded by an invincible sailor across the rivers and seas.

Hong Xu also said: "And the general is also expanding the Nanyang area, I think it is too early to move the state to Fuzhou!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao retorted: "I don't agree with Bachelor Zeng's words......"

Wang Zhongxiao and Zeng Ying had a fierce argument over the relocation of the government, and each of them refuted the unreasonableness of the other party's proposal by citing military affairs, government affairs, and the common people.

As the two of them argued, the other people in the room also followed, and for a while, the quarrel between the government and the government was endless.

Zheng Chenggong listened to the reasons for the approval or opposition of the two parties, and both had some intentions, and he couldn't hold his mind for a while.

I saw Yao Qisheng leisurely shaking a paper fan and drinking oolong tea.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't beat him up, and we people were making a red face, so you should watch the show!

Zheng Chenggong said: "Xizhi, between you, where the government will move to overflow!" ”

"Dare to ask the general's ambition?" Yao Qisheng didn't answer in a hurry, but in turn **** Zheng Chenggong asked a question.

Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment and then said, "Thank you Xizhi for your advice, Ming Yan has a heavy responsibility, and he is determined to rejuvenate the Han community. “

Looking at his subordinates, Zheng Chenggong said: "How can you spare yourself when you do big things!" I have made up my mind to move the government to Fuzhou. ”

The other opponents saw that the general had already made up his mind, stood up and said, "Yes, the general! ”

……

Moving to govern the government is not a trivial matter, there are too many people and things involved, and it is not at all that the relocation can be relocated immediately.

The residences of the subordinate officials need to be settled, the families need to be escorted in batches, and the scattered chores can be used for two days a day, which is not enough.

The matter of moving the government will be maintained until after the autumn harvest, before that, in order to set an example, Zheng Chenggong first escorted his wife and children to Fuzhou, which can be regarded as telling others his determination to move the government.

Zheng Chenggong did not require all civil and military officials to move their families to Fuzhou, but except for the low-level generals who felt that Xiamen was safer and refused to move their families.

Those middle- and high-level civil and military officials will move their families to Fuzhou one after another.

Originally, Feng Dengshi also proposed that Xiamen Gewu University and Firearms Workshop should also follow Beishan.

Considering that both study, research and manufacturing require a stable environment to maximize the effect, Zheng Chenggong rejected Feng Dengshi's proposal and let them stay in Xiamen with peace of mind.

In order to dispel Feng Dengshi's doubts, Zheng Chenggong rewarded Feng Dengshi with 2,000 taels and the post of right waiter in the Ministry of Industry. (To be continued.) )
