On 21 August, the anti-Qing forces in Guangxi, which had been unable to conquer Wuzhou for a long time, were forced to break through by separate routes in the face of the Qing army's encirclement on all sides. Due to biquge.info the mountains and mountains in the Xunjiang River Basin, it was difficult for the Qing army to pursue the righteous army, so most of the righteous army escaped, and only a few lagging and lone people were hunted and killed by local regimental training centers loyal to the Qing court.

"Brother Su, it is a good thing that the whole territory of Guixi is restored now, but if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it will always leave a trouble." Sitting in the second hall of Wuzhou Mansion, which was temporarily changed to the governor of Liangguang, Zhao Shilin looked at Fan Chengxun, who was sitting in danger, with a worried face. "Brother Su is Gui Fu, soothing the realm and reassuring the people, and the responsibility is heavy!"

"What the producer said is extremely true." Fan Chengxun responded with a pale face, but in his opinion, it was not the Guangxi Green Camp that was transferred to the east in large quantities, otherwise how could he let the so-called traitors take advantage of the gap, and now Zhao Shilin is beating him upside down, which is simply an insult, but the officialdom pays attention to Piri Yangqiu, and the other party is also a Shangguan, so he must always have some decency, so he had to respond in a deep voice. "However, Guangxi is mountainous, rebellious and well versed in geography, and his whereabouts are erratic, and the lower officials are really embarrassed, and I hope that the military headquarters will stay in Guangxi for more time, so as to assist in countering the rebellion in the province."

"He Fu suffered a defeat in Qiongzhou and was forced to retreat to Qiongshan." In Zhao Shilin's eyes, one is the return of the remnants of the three feudatories, but it is just a mustard problem, and it is not enough to worry about, while the other is the remnants of the previous dynasty that have not yet succumbed, and there is a possibility of restoration at any time, which is the real danger of his henchmen, so his mind has already flown over. "Brother Su, which side is more urgent, it should be self-evident, so the official refuses, it really can't." Zhao Shilin explained. "The Guangdong reinforcements will soon have to be reinforced across the sea, and the superintendent and the Hunan provincial reinforcements will also be immediately filled in the defense, and it will be difficult for them to stay in Guizhou Province for a long time."

"But you can't ignore the end." Fan Chengxun's words are very unstandard, but who made him anxious. "There are only more than 10,000 green camps in the province, and even if you add the township bravery, it is only 20,000, which is not even a pepper noodle, so how can you eliminate the rebelliousness? In case of a resurgence of the ashes, how can we explain to the emperor if we control the army. ”

Fan Chengxun's words can be regarded as using Kangxi to pressure Zhao Shilin, but Zhao Shilin is also an old official, how could he eat his set, so he just smiled faintly: "Brother Su, Guangdong Province is indeed urgent, but it is also true that Guizhou Province has insufficient troops, why don't you and I jointly sign a request to call for reinforcements from the green battalions of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces?" ”

Zhao Shilin was already very in place, Fan Chengxun was naturally not forced again, so he had to sigh: "I'm afraid that it won't be urgent!" ”

"In fact, you can also use the bottom of the kettle to draw salary." Zhao Shilin is the governor of Liangguang, although the situation in Guangdong seems to be stricter, but if there is a problem in Guangxi, he will also eat and hang, so he came up with a vicious idea. "First, team training is available!" The rural landlords have always been the most powerful force for the ruling class. "Second, if the water is drained, will the fish still survive?"

"Drained the water?" Fan Chengxun was taken aback, but he knew very well how the Qing court could gain a foothold in the Central Plains, it was nothing more than a killing word. "This method of controlling the army is very good, and the subordinate will hand it over."

Of course, Fan Chengxun would not stupidly give a written order, but a hint would do, so under his instigation and acquiescence, Guidong fell into a bloody storm.

On the first day of the first month of September, the Qing army marched into Rong County, and in order to make meritorious contributions, the Qing army plundered the county for three days, killing more than 1,000 people in the city, and countless women were defiled. In order not to expose their own deeds, the Qing army slandered that this matter was committed by the righteous army, and also deliberately set up a tablet of "Rongxian Ping Thief Jiluo", hoping to cover up the truth forever.

On September 11, someone who had served as the deputy general of the righteous army in Rong County more than a month ago led more than 800 people to surrender to the Qing army. The overjoyed Fan Chengxun immediately promised to promote this person as the capital secretary, and when this person and several henchmen accepted the official title in Guiping, his troops were shot and killed by the Qing army who had laid an ambush in advance.

Of course, there are still people who have left the team and fallen into the grass, but there are still some teams who are still holding on. One of the northbound detachments broke through Hexian on 20 September, and then conquered Fuping County, Jianghua and Yongming counties in Yongzhou, Hunan, and marched into Lianxian County, Guangdong. In addition, there was also a group that crossed the Yunkai Mountains to the south and entered the territory of Xinyi and Xining counties in Gaozhou, Guangdong, and then regained momentum due to the participation of the local Qiankun Society, the Tiandi Society and some anti-Qing underground organizations, and once advanced into Gaozhou, although it was defeated under the suppression of the hastily mobilized Qing army, it still contained the great strength of the Qing army.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army had no time to take care of Qiongzhou, the Zheng army made every effort to rush to transport the population, but the strength of the Zheng army was still insufficient, so it never set foot in Qiongshan, Chengmai, Lingao and Changhua and other counties in one state, and the two sides seemed to maintain a tacit cold peace.

"Your Lord, I just learned from the Ryukyu Merchant House that the Qing court defeated the invading Rakshasa people in Yaxa." This is the battle of Yaksa, which is especially famous in history, but behind this victory is that the Qing court invested seven times the enemy's forces, so once the Qing army withdrew, the Russians who received reinforcements immediately returned.

Although the Ming court had diplomatic contacts with Russia during the Wanli period, it is too far to say that the connection between them is still too far when the Ming and Zheng's naval armies appear most in the Jeju waters, so Zheng Kezhang has only heard of it.

"My Lord, about the Ryukyu side's request for us to come forward and take back the Amami Islands."

"Now that the Qiongzhou War is in the ascendant, the domain does not have the strength to wage war on both sides at the same time." An inscrutable smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Kezang's mouth. "Moreover, the business of the Honkō clan in Japan is more important, and the Ryukyuan people will be patient for a few years." Of course, Zheng Kezhang will not chill the hearts of the Ryukyuan people. "Sue Sù over there, move around more often with the two of you."

"Yes," Lin Weirong replied, and then continued to report. "Lord, the Qing court recently set up the Jiang Customs in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture (note: now Huangque, Fengxian District, Shanghai)." Originally, the institutions in charge of foreign maritime trade in China in previous dynasties were called the Municipal Shipping Division, and the word customs was invented and used in order to cut off the cultural inheritance of China after the Manchu Qing Dynasty came into power. "Huating's Jianghai Customs has jurisdiction over Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Tongzhou (note: Nantong) and other 24 customs offices, contracting the maritime trade of foreign countries.

Although the Qing court has set up four customs, but the Fujian Sea Zheng army blockade is tight, there are Portuguese and Dutch examples, no one dares to try to break in, and the Zhejiang Provincial Customs was originally mostly North Korean, Ryukyu merchant ships in and out, but with the opening of Jeju port and the reason for the levy of sea tax on the Ryukyu side is almost abandoned, the only one that can play a role is the Guangzhou Guangdong Customs, which is still out of reach of the Ming and Zheng sides, which is also one of the reasons why the Qing court wants to set up another customs in Songjiang.

"It's a pity that our strength has only just gained a foothold in Zhoushan, and it is not enough to radiate Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces."

Zheng Kezhang frowned, but fortunately, Japan still implements a closed country policy, and the silk and raw silk shipped out of China by other countries may only be sold to Naha, while tea and porcelain are usually shipped directly back to Europe, so as long as Satsuma Shimazu is not allowed to obtain raw silk and silk from the Ryukyus, it will not have too much impact on the Ming and Zheng sides to continue to monopolize the Japanese market, but the question comes back, how to avoid the Shimazu family?

Zheng Kezhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Lin Qing, you said, can you put a hole on the Ryukyu side, tell them that the raw silk can be exempted from the sea tax after it is transported from the Suzhou Customs and Zhejiang Customs and imported into Penghu, and it can also be regarded as a miss for Mao Enshou and Ma Liangzhi." ”

Lin Weirong thought for a while: "The lord's method is very good, the minister thinks it is a two-way street, no, the strategy of killing three birds with one stone, that is, let the domain and Ryukyu have their own benefits, and you can also test the true meaning of Mao and Ma to the domain."

Zheng Kezhang waved his hand: "Qing, is this a slap in the horse?" ”

Lin Weirong was an official in the end, and his face was not embarrassed at all, but Zheng Kezhang didn't want to say anything, so he only explained directly: "Since it is feasible, the Department of International Trade will coordinate with Ryukyu to do it." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang complained a little unwillingly: "It's still the strength of the sailor, it seems that the speed of the shipyard will be accelerated, go and explain to the Ordnance Department, by the middle of next year at the latest, I want to see the Taijiang team complete the redress." ”

When he arrived at Zheng Kezang's position, every word he said would be amplified, so the guards on the side did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded and retreated to pass the order.

Zheng Kezhang was still stunned, and at this time he listened to Lin Weirong's continued report: "In addition, regarding the fact that North Korea sent 500 servants to the domain in exchange for the suspension of the Jeju mutual market, the Ministry of International Trade and Commerce still agreed to it. ”

"There are still smart people in North Korea." Zheng Kezhang sighed. "Well, just do what the Ministry of Commerce wants, and in the future, you can exchange women for the goods of the domain." At this point, Lin Weirong's report had ended, and he was about to retire, when he heard Zheng Kezhang suddenly speak. "I heard that Jian Ningbo recently had a son-in-law named Kexi (thanks to the book friend manson2003 for reminding) was born, which is also a happy event for the Zheng family.

"This matter should be sent by the Department of Ceremonies." Lin Weirong was a little stunned, to be honest, Zheng Kezang's arrangement was trouble-free, but it was inevitably a little out of line, and it would make Lin Weirong fall into a charge of taking power everywhere in front of his peers, so Lin Weirong bowed down and pushed back. "The minister really doesn't dare to obey the order!"

"That's right." was reminded by Lin Weirong, Zheng Kezhang realized that he had made a mistake and had to hurry up to make a confession. "In this way, you can check when the ship to Nagasaki sailed recently, and let the Ceremony Division send it to undertake it at that time, and arrange for a person to go with you."
