"Why is Kangxi suddenly so bold, is the imperial court already ready? According to the news from the intelligence sub-bureaus in various places, I'm afraid that his conditions are not yet ripe! Geng Jingzhong was also stunned for a while when he heard the news. This is indeed a bit sudden, he is still training on the island now, and the cavalry on Luzon Island has not formed combat effectiveness, if he is allowed to fight with the imperial army now, although he can also win, but he can't destroy the withering and decay, and form a stalemate, it will not benefit him at all.

So far, the reputation of the Geng family in the north is still not very good, but it is not him who bears the brunt. There were four vassal kings who surrendered to the Qing court that year, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. Of course, the most reviled was Wu Sangui, because the Han people had great expectations for Wu Sangui, but Wu Sangui still surrendered, and then did not oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Even the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was chased by him to Burma and killed.

The three kings of Dingnan, Jingnan, and Pingnan had already surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde was already dead, Geng Zhongming was dead, his son Geng Jimao was also dead, and Geng Jingzhong was left. As for Shang Kexi, he is scheming and relatively low-key, and ordinary people can't remember him anymore. Now he is the fuse for the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and he has once again run in front of the people of the world and has become a big traitor second only to Wu Sangui. In the past seven or eight years, Geng Jingzhong has never given up winning the hearts of the people, at least in Fujian Province, the people's hearts are all towards Geng Jingzhong. The surrounding provinces of Fujian are also reciting the deeds of Jingnan Wangfu who are close to the people and love the people. This is much stronger than the other two kings. But this is also in the south. In addition to these few places. It is estimated that the notoriety of the Geng family is still circulating.

Li Guangdi has always been paying attention to the current situation, and as soon as Geng Jingzhong finished speaking, he continued: "Lord, the imperial court has been preparing in recent years, and the imperial court occupies most of the territory, as long as they move, the military and civilian materials that can be mobilized far exceed the sum of the three feudatories, which is also where Kangxi's confidence lies. The last time the three feudatories were summoned to Beijing, Kangxi was already planning to withdraw the feudal domains. At least it shows that the imperial court was already preparing at that time. Now Shang Kexi's twists and turns just gave him a good excuse. However, although the will to withdraw the feudal domain was made, Wu Sangui would definitely not agree to it. At the very least, it will be superficial and then prepare for war urgently. When the preparations are ready, it is time for him to raise the anti-flag. ”

"My subordinates fully agree with what Chief of General Staff Li said, if the imperial court wants to go to war, it must first start a war with Wu Sangui, and for us, it must be an order to appease. Under the current circumstances, the prince needs to communicate with Yunnan first, indicating that he will follow in the footsteps of Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui agreed to withdraw the feudal domain. Let's agree, it's still very simple to draw a scoop with a gourd. Wait until the two sides go to war. We still have a few months to calmly dispatch, and at that time, the southeast half of the wall is not up to us. Yao Qisheng's eyes shone brightly, and he said next.

Geng Jingzhong also reacted from this sudden news, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Our strength, at least in the southern coast, is unmatched." Taiwan and Guangdong are not a problem, if in this big wave, if the two of them want to play with us, they will be cleaned up immediately. Now, let's sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and look at the world with a cold eye. However, from now on, we must strengthen our control over all parts of Fujian. When the imperial court starts a war with Wu Sangui, quickly replace those officials who are unwilling to submit to us, and don't tell me that those students who graduated from the government affairs class are not up to the task! ”

"Please rest assured that this is like the first batch of trainees who have been trained, and now many of them have achieved the position of magistrate, and half of the low-level officials are from the academy. This is also thanks to the foresight of the prince, and more than 1,000 young grassroots officials have been trained in recent years, all of whom are poor children, and they don't have to worry about their loyalty to the palace at all. It can be said that the current Fujian is already completely under our control. "Yao Qisheng is in charge of government affairs, and he has the most say in this.

"That's good!" Geng Jingzhong nodded, then thought of something, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "Hehe, I'm thinking now, Kangxi is in such a hurry to withdraw the domain, but he wasted his hard work on Lao Tzu Shunzhi." However, even if he doesn't withdraw the feudal domain, in a few years, the three feudal domains will also go on a northern expedition, at least after we are well prepared. I think Kangxi is a little cute, if he prepares for a few more years, Wu Sangui will definitely not be his opponent, at this time, he can only lose both sides! ”

"This is also an opportunity given by God to the prince. According to the original strategy, the two sides of them are fighting hotly, let's take the opportunity to expand the sphere of influence, and when they are both defeated, we will clean up the mess and encroach step by step, so that the resistance will be much smaller, which is also the most correct strategy! Li Guangdi spoke.

"What the prince said is right, the withdrawal of the feudal domain means that the official sword and soldier meet, and Emperor Shunzhi's hard work is completely in vain. But it's good that our time has come! Yao Qisheng also agreed.

In order to win over the three feudatories, Emperor Shunzhi not only gave money to power, but also adopted the same trick of winning over the ages-marriage. In this regard, Emperor Shunzhi was quite generous, and in order to win over the three feudatories, he really did not lose his blood.

The first one to win over was Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui is quite capable of fighting, but he can't give birth, even Chen Yuanyuan counts so many wives and concubines, so he gave birth to a son, Wu Yingxiong. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Shunzhi married his sister, Princess Heshuo, the fourteenth daughter of Huang Taiji, to him. In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, he added his sister as the eldest princess of Heshuo Jianning, which is the famous princess of Jianning in history. No matter what title he changes, Wu Yingxiong has become a forehead, as if he has become Shunzhi's brother-in-law, and the relationship between the two families can no longer be "bar".

The second one to win over is Shang Kexi. Shang Kexi can play and give birth, and the children can form two football teams to reach more than 20. It's a pity that most of the children are married, and Shunzhi has no way, so he can't call a royal woman a second room, so borrow a royal relative. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, the daughter of Prince Shuosai, the brother of Emperor Shunzhi, grew up, and the little girl grew up in the palace, and she had the temperament of a princess in her bones. Shunzhi named her Princess Heshuo Shun. Married to Shang Kexi, the seventh son of King Shang of Pingnan. Why didn't you choose Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin. Hehe. Can Shunzhi still not know what virtue Shang Zhixin is?

The last one to win over is Geng Jimao. Geng Jimao also has three sons, the eldest is of course Geng Jingzhong, and then Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong. Shunzhi didn't talk nonsense, he found the daughters of three relatives, all of them were named Gege, marry me, one for each person, and those who saw it had a share.

Such. Wu Shanggeng's three families appeared five foreheads, and for a time the three vassal kings were flattered and swore allegiance to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the five concubines can't be separated from the princess, and they all have to come to Beijing to make money. It was clearly a matter of imprisonment, and all of them were "hostages" in Beijing. It's just that Geng Jingzhong was lucky, Geng Jimao was seriously ill in the first year of Kangxi, and Geng Jingzhong had the opportunity to return to Fujian, but the two younger brothers still stayed in the capital as hostages.

Emperor Shunzhi's means are more than just marriage. In order for them to better serve their own Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi added a lot of details. For example, I often have a banquet in person. Bestow on the royal family, give women to accompany the army, send troops to be ordered to be humble, and issue a special edict to participate in the war. The first three are easy to understand, and the last two are humble. According to the rules, before the Qing Dynasty sent troops, the emperor had to instruct the generals: "Don't underestimate the enemy, don't rush in, you are nothing great, you are an X." It is equivalent to the current business boss assigning tasks to employees: "Do a good job, although you are very capable, you also do a good job." But I tell you that you can't do it here, here, here. The so-called humble resignation means that the edicts of the three vassal kings must not appear in such words, and they must not hurt their self-esteem.

And finally: the promulgation of the Decree of Participation in the War. In order to be more concerned about the health of the three feudatories, Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict to them: "Don't be impulsive in battle, just sit and give orders, you don't have to take the lead, and it's okay if you lose the battle." "I fully encourage them to be deserters, as long as you live, it is the greatest comfort to my court.

，

Judging from these strategies of the imperial court, Aixinjue Luo actually did not feel sorry for the three feudatories, whether it was from material rewards or psychological comfort, they did a good job. Geng Jingzhong has also thought of these things a long time ago, but if it is not for the court to be good to you, we will have a bare head and a pig's tail for the rest of our lives. At this point, since Geng Jingzhong came to this era, the goal has been clear. Of course, Wu Sangui is still glad that they and Geng Jingzhong don't have the same idea. In fact, there is no difference between Geng Jingzhong's father Geng Jimao and Wu Sangui Shang Kexi.

Back then, after Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi were assigned to Fujian and Guangdong together, they found themselves close to the sea again. As soon as they saw the sea, the two of them invariably remembered a person - Mao Wenlong. Back then, Mao Shuai used a small Phi Island to make him rich and rival the country, and now we have two whole provinces, so we can't embarrass Mao Shuai. Both of them are worthy of being mixed under Mao Wenlong, and they are quite skilled in business, opening ports as soon as they take office, attracting investment, using various preferential policies to attract customers, and at the same time giving corresponding support and preferential treatment. But Geng Jimao didn't have any good preferences, and he didn't expand the port for a month.

But both of them have great limitations, the most is that they can smuggle, what investment, what to build a factory, that is nothing, but just selling commercial goods back and forth, they have already made a lot of money. The Qing Dynasty was a nomadic people, who knew nothing about the sea and did not know how to collect taxes. Therefore, the income of the two provinces is quite large, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month. But compared to Wu Sangui, it can only be regarded as a small thing.

Wu Sangui's Yunnan has "Mu's Grange," a brand that has existed since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and has gone through more than 200 years, with more than 300 light stores. Just like what is gnawed on the chicken and sold stalls now, the annual rent tax alone is more than one million taels, not counting the money for the things sold. In addition, Wu Sangui also smuggled, Geng Jingzhong's father Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi of Guangdong survived the seafood and tea business. Lao Tzu directly does arms trading, trades with Tibet and Mongolia, you give me war horses, I give you Pu'er tea, you don't lose at all, my tea is good, you drink it casually, it's a big deal to add some Yunnan Baiyao.

There are many mountainous areas in Yunnan and Guizhou, and various minerals are abundant. Wu Sangui directly occupied the mine, no matter what he dug out of the mountain, he wanted all the gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, and even the coffin was his. With all kinds of mineral sources in his hands, Wu Sangui did the most lucrative job in the world. With the mineral source of gold and silver, Wu Sangui began to cast gold and silver by himself, and cast whatever he wanted. He doesn't care about any economic crisis. As a result, the counterfeit money on the market affected the economy of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Wu Sangui finally ordered the people of Yunnan to transport these "products" to Hunan, Hubei, coastal and other places for "pyramid schemes".

Even when Geng Jingzhong first arrived in this world, there were still two or three million taels of silver in the treasury of the palace. This is still the money left after raising the soldiers. Don't look at San Francisco as rich. They never gave the Qing Dynasty a penny. Opposite. I have to ask for money from the court every year. Or because of Hong Chengchou's words: "Don't make Yunnan idle for a day." "Wu Sangui and Geng Jimao have the same gratifying interests, and they both want to learn the story of the Mu family. So the Qing Dynasty had no warning, almost at the same time, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou. The war continues. Every day is endless.

There are twists and turns coming from the southern coast every day: "The coastal area is now plagued by Japanese robbers, and Taiwan's Zheng family has also threatened to counterattack the mainland." "There are twists and turns in the southwest mountains every day: "The remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty fanned the wind and ignited the fire, and the Miao Yao ethnic minorities collectively rebelled. From then on, the jurisdiction of the three feudatories had a central idea: "chaos". I have someone making trouble, you have to give me money in the court, so I can go to quell the rebellion. At this time, the imperial court, Shunzhi had died, Kangxi was still young, and all the big and small affairs in the court were controlled by the four auxiliary ministers. Sony, Sukh Saha, and Ao Bai are busy fighting in the nest. I don't have time to care about these thieves. If you ask for money, you will give money, and the three feudal clans know the secret. I didn't dare to ask for more. The four auxiliary ministers waved their hands and gave it. Although it was a pleasure, the three feudatories also took out a lot of money to pay a few auxiliary ministers, don't think that the important ministers of the court don't love money.

In fact, taking the coast as an example, the "war" on Fujian's side was all discussed between Geng Jingzhong and Taiwan's Zheng family, and he directed and acted by himself, which was also a strategy of Geng Jingzhong. If you want to say that Kangxi is withdrawing from the vassal now, then you can't blame him. Geng Jingzhong clearly knows that this is a contradiction between the two nationalities, and there is no room for relaxation. It is even more impossible for him to watch the future history continue to repeat itself, and he will go north to destroy the Japanese kingdom when he turns back, and now such a little strength is not enough, the financial resources are enough, but the troops are completely insufficient, and only by crushing the power of the whole country can he succeed.

"Half of the world's wealth is consumed in the three feudatories." This is what Kangxi said personally. For the Qing court, the three feudatories had transformed from a positive force in the Qing Dynasty's unification and war into a negative force that undermined national stability, and became the three cancers of the Qing Dynasty. That's why Kangxi had to have surgery, and for him, his approach was completely correct. And the first to find out that the three feudatories were in danger was Aobai, don't look at Aobai is good at enclosing land, framing people, and doing bad things, he also did a few good things that were beneficial to the imperial court.

Ao Bai ordered the promotion of the confidant generals of the three feudal clans to other provinces as high-ranking officials, which directly weakened the core strength of the three feudatories, and the most famous of the people transferred was Wang Fuchen. Ao Bai also ordered that loyal and upright ministers from the central government be selected to work in the three feudatories, and monitored the three feudatories' every move, and the most famous of the transferred people was Zhu Guozhi. Later history has also proved that this action of Ao Bai is correct, Wang Fuchen and Zhu Guozhi, the former is the key to the victory, and the latter uses his own flesh and blood to tell the world about Wu Sangui's crimes. This is also one of the direct reasons why Geng Jingzhong did not help when Kangxi was in addition to worship, he took so much silver from him every year, but he did not help with things, and saving him was also in vain. And if you save Aobai, history will completely change, and it will be difficult for you to control the direction of development.

As soon as Kangxi became in power, he ordered to weaken the soldiers and horses of the three feudatories, and Wu Sangui was forced to reduce 5,000 men, but all the reductions were incompetent, and its main force still existed. Subsequently, Wu Sangui was forced by public opinion to give up the affairs of Guizhou on his own and hand over various affairs seals. Kangxi was very happy to see the seal, if you have the seal, you have power, and now that Wu Sangui has handed over all the seals, he has no rights, it depends on how you rebel. Kangxi is still young after all, for Wu Sangui, with his prestige and strength, it makes no difference whether he is in charge of Guizhou or not, it is a big deal to find someone to carve a radish seal, which is just as easy to use.

Wu Sangui's mentality has long been completely changed, once people get power, they will go crazy, and they will be even crazier if they get it and lose it. The Qing Dynasty gave him power, and Wu Sangui was arrogant and ambitious, and as soon as the Qing Dynasty adopted a policy of suppression, Wu Sangui was immediately dissatisfied and gradually became dissatisfied, and the two sides rubbed against each other, becoming increasingly intense. For Kangxi, the current three feudal domains are equivalent to the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and if they are not careful, they will detonate. According to the regulations, after the death of the three feudatories, the descendants cannot inherit the prince, but now Geng Jingzhong has inherited it, and there is a reason for this.

Among the three feudatories, in fact, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, has the greatest responsibility, and opposite Fujian is Taiwan, and Taiwan's Zheng clan is eyeing the mainland and will counterattack the mainland at every opportunity. Kangxi had just been in power, and he was afraid that something would happen in Fujian, so he agreed to the approval of Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan. In fact, at that time, Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing also co-directed a sea battle. So Geng Jingzhong succeeded to the prince, and Kangxi didn't know at that time that he opened the precedent of the three feudatories, since Geng Jingzhong could attack the prince of Jingnan, why couldn't I Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi's son. As soon as the contradiction came out, Wu Sangui was more active in accumulating strength, and he also knew better that a big war was a matter of time and was inevitable.

Geng Jingzhong really didn't care about these miscellaneous matters now, and no matter what measures the Qing court took, he could not change Fujian's established policy. At this moment, there is no point in entangling who is right and wrong, in the future, it must not be Kangxi to unify the whole country, and dignified China can no longer rest on its laurels, and the time to look at the world is approaching!
