Fan Chengmo is the second son of Fan Wencheng, a great hero of the Qing Dynasty. He was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Shunzhi, and he was also the governor of Zhejiang, and now he has become the governor of Fujian. When he took office in Zhejiang, he reclaimed wasteland, appeased the victims, and asked the imperial court to exempt more than 300,000 mu of taxes. Speaking of Fan Chengmo and Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong's brother-in-law is Fan Chengmo's nephew, and the two families have been passed on for three generations.

Fan Chengmo and Geng Jingzhong's positions are different, and they can be said to be opposites directly, and at this time, irreconcilable contradictions have arisen between the two sides, which will definitely become more and more intense. Previously, Geng Jingzhong was the same as Wu Sangui, and his strategy was to delay until Wu Sangui began to raise troops, but Fan Chengmo was good, and he directly stipulated the time, and he couldn't leave without leaving, and he didn't even pay the demolition fee. If Geng Jingzhong hadn't prepared this early, it is estimated that he would have been the first to start.

"That's the matter for the local officials, change the ones that change. Now Fujian is our final say, and we are not familiar with handling affairs, so it will be fine in a few months. As for Fan Chengmo's people, this king will talk to them again. Uncle Gu, please come over in the afternoon, and say that Yunnan is rebelling, and this king wants to discuss defense strategies with them. After all, this king is still keeping filial piety, so I wronged them to ask the yamen to come here for a while, and it is better to discuss it in front of my father and king's spirit. ”

"Yes, do it now!" With that, Gu Ping went out to give orders.

"Now, pass on the royal decree!"

All the generals immediately stood up, their chests held high, and their heads were raised.

"First, accept Wu Sangui's edict. But did not recognize his Great Zhou Dynasty. From now on, I will no longer be the King of Jingnan in the Qing court. It's the Metropolitan Governor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes. Grand Governor! The generals replied in unison.

"Second, the whole army learns from the navy and shaves their hair. After keeping a bald head and regrowing hair, the king wants this money rat tail to completely disappear in Fujian, and at the same time abolish the full costume and restore the clothes of my Han people. ”

"In the end, the whole arms war, the target is Guangdong."

The order was finished. And they sat down again. They already knew these rules, but Geng Jingzhong had not yet issued a formal order. For Geng Jingzhong's prediction, Shang Kexi would not raise troops to respond, but would attack them, although everyone was a little unconvinced, but still seriously carried out the order. In their opinion, Shang Kexi is really not a cause for concern, and the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Guangdong are really a piece of cake. Not to mention, Shang Kexi will really lead the army to attack Fujian directly. Shang's father and son looked down on Geng Jingzhong a little. Geng Jiaqiang is also a sailor, but not on land. There are not a few land forces. If they take Fujian, they will really get rich. The wealth that Fujian has gathered over the years has made them greedy, and if Geng Jingzhong corresponds to Wu Sangui, it will just be cheaper for them. It's just that the Shang father and son missed a point, Geng Jingzhong's army is hidden on the island, as long as he makes a move, Geng Jingzhong will give him a thunderous blow.

At the end of the morning meeting, the generals went back to their barracks and prepared to go. And Geng Jingzhong continued to stay in the palace, preparing to recruit some officials, it would be better if Fan Chengmo could be recruited, this person is indeed capable, but the chance of doing this is indeed smaller.

As soon as Fan Chengmo received the letter, Fan Dacheng, the personal guard, immediately said: "My lord, you can't go!" Geng Jingzhong's recent appearance is obvious, he has long wanted to plot against him, and now this is the standard Hongmen banquet, and adults must not go. ”

Fan Chengmo was silent for a while, and then calmly said to the people around him: "Hmph, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." My Fan family has respected Confucius and Mencius for generations, and is loyal and filial piety, how can I be afraid of life and death! Will you go with me? ”

"The lower officials are willing to follow the adults!" Fujian's political envoy Yan Xuewen took the lead in following the Tao.

"The next official is willing to go!" Fujian Salt Transport Envoy Bo Luo also echoed loudly, he is a Manchurian, even if he surrenders Geng Jingzhong, he may not accept him, not to mention that his relationship with Geng Jingzhong is not good at all, because of the salt matter, the two sides almost tore their faces directly.

When the other officials saw that there were two "generals" in the lead, they stood up one after another and expressed their willingness to go with them. A group of more than a dozen people plus guards went to Jingnan Palace, in fact, they also knew that it was useless for them to bring ten times as many guards, Fujian was Geng Jingzhong's territory. As soon as I arrived at the palace, the atmosphere was not right, murderous, and there were soldiers standing in neat rows everywhere. At the same time, the plaque of the Jingnan Palace, which was originally above the gate, has disappeared, but has become the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. The dozen or so people at the door were flustered, but Fan Chengmo still entered with his head held high, not afraid.

Entering the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he must first incense Geng Jimao's spiritual seat, and no matter what, the two families are also relatives, which is a must. As soon as Fan Chengmo finished offering incense, Geng Jingzhong walked out wearing a Ming Dynasty armor and stood in the hall. "Master Fan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you've cleared it!"

Fan Chengmo's eyes shrank, and he recognized that Geng Jingzhong was wearing the armor style of the Ming Dynasty, so he shouted: "King Jingnan, your outfit, do you have to learn from Wu Sangui to rebel?" ”

Geng Jingzhong didn't care about his attitude at all, and replied with a smile: "Haven't you seen the current situation, I have already accepted the edict of Emperor Ming, and I am now the governor of the former army of Xingming." Besides, as you know, my ancestor and Wu Sangui had an agreement when they were in Shanhaiguan, so I must fulfill the agreement today. ”

"King Jingnan, you are an understanding person, you should know that Wu Sangui is by no means an opponent of the imperial court, sooner or later he will die, if you follow Wu Sangui, you can only end up in ruin, and the family and clan are not far away. I still advise you to think about it again, not for yourself, then you have to think about it for future generations. Fan Chengmo, as an elder, said earnestly.

"Hehe, when you say that, I still admire you. With such integrity, he can exchange death for a clear name. However, I would like to ask, are you so loyal to the Manchus, and don't you have a little nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty? Geng Jingzhong squinted his eyes and asked Fan Chengmo and several ministers behind him.

"Hmph, corruption at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people were not happy, and it was already time to change the dynasty. The entry of the Qing Dynasty into the customs is in accordance with the will of heaven, and you have to oppose the Qing Dynasty at this moment. That is, against the will of heaven. Mortal! Therefore. His Royal Highness King Jingnan, please think twice! Fan Chengmo did not give up a moment of opportunity to persuade Geng Jingzhong, and even when he refuted, he had to follow the persuasion.

"Geng Jingzhong, the court has been so kind to your Geng family, if you rebel, are you worthy of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty?" The salt transport made Bolo know that his situation was very difficult, he was a Manchurian, and it was likely that Geng Jingzhong would directly kill the sacrificial flag. It's not that he didn't think about escaping, but the roads out of the province have been blocked, even the sea route is no exception, and the port is very tightly checked, and no one can get through the customs in confusion.

Geng Jingzhong heard the voice, yo, he is an acquaintance. "Lord Bolo, I thought you were out of Fujian, you are still there, that is to say. All the gold, silver, and jewelry you looted are still in the house, yes. Come! ”

"In!" Two guards immediately flashed out of the door and replied loudly.

"Immediately take someone to raid Lord Bolo's house, I think there will be a lot of gains!" Geng Jingzhong said with a smile on his face.

"You" Bolo's face was blue with anger, but he couldn't say anything, after all, now his life is in the hands of others, and being raided can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

"The other adults don't know if there is a family collection of 10,000 gold like Lord Bolo, wrong, it is a family collection of 100,000 gold, or I'll send someone to search for it together?" Geng Jingzhong looked at the dozen or so officials opposite, some of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Geng Jingzhong's eyes, and their original momentum was completely gone.

"Geng Jingzhong, do you really want to be obsessed?" Fan Chengmo saw that the situation was not optimistic, so he shouted loudly.

Geng Jingzhong still looks light. "Why should Master Fan be in a hurry, I know that you are a clean official, and I can't copy a few taels of silver when I go to your house. Not necessarily for the others, of course, the Pontus is not going to continue to raid the house now, and at the same time give you a chance to be loyal to the Pontus! Not only will this preserve your wealth, but you will also be able to obtain a higher status and greater wealth, how about it? ”

"Don't think about it, resisting the imperial court will definitely not end well" Fan Chengmo was still angry, not moved by Geng Jingzhong's words at all, and scolded loudly.

"Stop! If you scold continuously, I won't lose a piece of meat, so let's rest. Come! Geng Jingzhong waved his hand to stop Fan Chengmo's continuous scolding on the street, and at the same time commanded outside. Drag down the two Manchurian Tartars of Bolo and Gelji, although they are not enough, but they are barely enough to sacrifice the flag! ”

"Yes!" Several guards dragged up the two of them like soft-footed shrimp and walked down quickly, and the other officials were frightened. They are all civilian officials, and they have really never seen blood, nor have they seen such a scene, it is too scary.

Geng Jingzhong's trick to kill chickens and monkeys still has some effect, at least now Fan Chengmo is shutting up. "All of them are descendants of China, and they are all pure Han blood, and they should all be towards the Han people in their bones. I know that you feel that the imperial court is strong, and I cannot be an opponent, so you are reluctant to follow. There may be some of you who don't follow me because my grandfather and father were big traitors and looked down on me from the bottom of their bones. But no matter what, I think it should be us Han people who are in charge of the land of China, and no matter how powerful the Tartars are, we have to drive them out. ”

Geng Jingzhong's words made everyone a little different, but no one squeaked. At this time, Geng Jingzhong thought of a good way, anyway, the day after tomorrow will hold a swearing-in ceremony and military parade, and when the time comes, let these people see his true strength in Fujian, maybe most of them will change their minds. But there are two or three Geng Jingzhong who don't want it, corrupt officials are moths, and Geng Jingzhong doesn't want to keep them to continue to harm. In addition to these, they can all be regarded as good officials, and being able to reach an official position above the fifth rank is enough to show their ability. These officials above the fifth grade are not something that can be bought with money, and if you don't have a certain ability, you can't sit in this position.

Although he couldn't solve this problem in one afternoon, he thought of a way to subdue these people, so Geng Jingzhong was happy to let the soldiers take these officials down to rest, resting rather than detaining. I think they will change their minds at this moment when they see the real military strength of Fujian. (To be continued......)
