The silver seized aboard the Lady Rose was quickly allocated by Zheng Kezhang to Xinhanliu, but before the money could be transferred to Chen Shenwu, he had already appeared in Nanchang with Li Jun's students. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

"Akrattu, what do you think of the Guangdong Juzi just past?" But what Chen Shenwu never expected was that Nanchang City, where he had just entered, was targeted by Saburin, the general manager of the White Flag Gate of Manchuria.

"Sablin, I see," replied the Mongolian Eight Banners in a humming voice. "There must be some soldiers among his guards, but there doesn't seem to be anything strange about this, Wu Sangui has just been defeated, the road is not quiet, and it is normal for rich people to use a few barbarians who are soldiers as guards."

The Mongolian Eight Banners were actually the Mongolian tribes conquered by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in the early years and some of the scattered herdsmen who broke away from their tribes and joined Manchuria, but through Manchuria into the Central Plains, these lost dogs also trembled, and one by one seemed to become second-class masters, of course, the times have changed, and most of the Mongolian Eight Banners during the Kangxi period have been corrupted and degenerated with the Manchurian Eight Banners, and only a small number of them are still elite because they act as executioners and monitors to suppress the resistance of the people in the Central Plains.

"Normal? If it is normal, you should not have traveled thousands of miles from Guangzhou to Nanchang. Sablin sneered. What is the request for mentors and friends, I think it is clearly a series of misdeeds, Akrattu, immediately send someone to target them. ā€

You must know that in the time and space where Fang Ming lived, in front of the Tongzhi Guang (Xu) Dynasty, the Manchu regime always insisted on implementing a firm and unswerving policy of suppressing and killing the anti-Qing forces among the people. Of course, the efficiency of this kind of extermination was a little higher during the Kang Yong period, and since the late Qianlong period, because the world has been peaceful for a long time, the entire bureaucratic system is full of officialdom culture of reporting good news but not bad news, and pretending to be wrong, and there is a situation of low efficiency and even turning a blind eye.

"Sabulin," the strong Mongolian man who looked like a savage smiled at Chen Shenwu and his party who were going away. "Why bother so much, just find a crime and arrest them, Han people, if you kill the wrong one, you will be fined at most."

"Do you know what it means to cast a long line to catch a big fish?" Sablin, who stood at the head of the city with his hands clenched into fists, was as heavy as water. "Send someone to Guangzhou again, let the side check the roots of this person, you must know that now the emperor favors the Han people, in case there is a heel, we will not get into a big disaster"

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, with the approval of Zheng Kezang, the naval division and the land division launched the largest cross-sea operation, and the two divisions of Zuo Yongwei and Zuo Huwei cooperated with the two teams of the naval division Penghu and Lukang and the two teams of Tamsui and Taijiang to attack Dongtouyang in Zhejiang, and then Zuo Yongwei landed in Yueqing Bay and Zuo Huwei landed in Feiyun Jiangnan. On September 13 and September 14, the Qing army captured Yueqing and Pingyang counties respectively, and went south to break through the Panshi camp in Haiphong, and killed the Qing guerrilla Fang Dong.

Subsequently, Zheng Jun left one to transport the population of the two counties into Taiwan, and the two main forces began to attack Yongjia, the capital of Wenzhou.

At this time, there were only 2,000 hastily organized Minzhuang and hundreds of green battalions in Yongjia City, but they were scattered in front of the siege artillery of the Zheng army, and the city of Wenzhou was broken. Yao Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Green Battalion who stayed in Wenzhou, committed suicide immediately, Wenchu Dao Manchuria inlaid with red flags and Mangtai threw his family into the well, Wenzhou prefect Zhang Jinhe and Yongjia Zhixian Chu Boming and 29 officials below the size were captured or surrendered, and Wenzhou became the first mainland capital city conquered by Ming Zheng after the Battle of Dongning.

Although Chen Shikai, the former commander-in-chief of Wenzhou and the new governor of Zhejiang, had already reported that the Zheng army had landed in Wenzhou, he had strictly ordered the Qing army to rescue the Qing army in Chuzhou, Taizhou and other places, but the Qing army in the two places was afraid of being attacked by the Zheng army, so the advance was very slow, and finally crossed the border of the prefecture but received the news of the fall of Wenzhou, and the two departments in fear simply retreated to their respective defense areas in the name of preventing the Zheng army from further attacking, thus enabling the Zheng army to calmly transport more than 25,000 people from nearly 5,000 households and a large number of materials back to Taiwan in one government and three counties.

As for Fuzhou, although it received the news of the landing of the Zheng army in Hangzhou before Hangzhou, but at the beginning, except for some people who were stationed in northeast Fujian and Zhejiang, most of the people in Fujian Province were secretly relieved, thinking that they had escaped, and only after receiving the defeat of Wenzhou and two counties in a short period of time did they panic, but Fuzhou did not have an edict from the Qing court, and did not dare to send troops across the border to help, so they had to watch Zheng Jun go back and forth between the Taiwan Strait again and again.

Because Zhejiang and Fujian are all eight mountains and one water, the land transportation is extremely inconvenient, so when the fall of Wenzhou City reached Hangzhou, it was already September 28. Wang Guo'an, the new governor of Zhejiang, had just received a reprimand document from Beijing not long ago, and now he heard that Dayi had fallen, and immediately convulsed, and the new governor of Zhejiang, Jin Hong, went crazy to collect troops in the provincial capital, and the entire city of Hangzhou appeared a kind of apocalyptic scene.

On October 1, Chen Shikai, who arrived in Ningbo, swore an oath outside the city, and then personally led 10,000 green battalions and 800 banner battalions to the south, all the way to gather Fenghua, Ninghai, Shengzhou, Tiantai and other places of the defenders and local regiments to train arms, and so on to Taizhou, the Qing army has swelled to 30,000 people, but then along the way there are Shujiang, Qingjiang and other rivers to block and even the Cang-Yandang mountain system stretched, the Qing army's march speed is really not fast.

On 6 October, Kangxi, who had received the fall of Wenzhou, was furious and immediately seized the crowns of more than 20 officials below the governor, governor, and admiral of Zhejiang Province, and ordered them to be convicted of meritorious service, and at the same time Kangxi ordered the transfer of troops from Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, and other places into Zhejiang, and then in order to prevent the Zheng army from returning to the division to attack and harass the coastal areas of Fujian Province, he continued to transfer troops from Hunan and Guangxi into Guangdong, and transferred the Guangdong army into Fujian to fill the gap, so that the main force of the Qing army was further concentrated in the southeast.

On 17 October, the Qing army in Zhejiang, which had overcome many obstacles, entered the territory of Wenzhou, and at this time the Zheng army had withdrawn from Yueqing, and Chen Shikai, who had recovered the empty Yueqing City, immediately reported the victory to Hangzhou and Beijing. On the same day, Fujian Province, which received an order from the Qing court, gathered 20,000 troops to cross the Zhejiang-Fujian border with 10,000 Zhejiang soldiers as the forerunner, approaching Pingyang, and two days later also recovered the relocated Pingyang City, and the troops pointed directly at the banks of the Feiyun River.

On October 20, the Fujian Qing army took the lead in crossing the Feiyun River, approaching Wenzhou City through the Luo Fengxian Rock line, and got the movement of the Qing army on the southern line

Not to mention how Chen Shikai should deal with the Fujian Province side to give the credit for the restoration of the land to the Zhejiang Province, there was an important dialogue in Beijing about the corrupt situation in the southeast: "Li Guangdi, now that the sea is rampant and the situation in the southeast is on the verge of repeated violations, the situation in the southeast is very erosive, do you have a solution?" ā€

"The minister thinks that the current situation should be for Zhu Qin to follow the entrance tactics used by this dynasty when he was fighting the Ming Dynasty," although Li Guangdi was punished for sponsoring Shi Lang, he was a traitor favored by Kangxi after all, so he quickly revoked the punishment and still walked in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. "Trying to seize manpower to enrich Taiwan."

"These orphans understand." Kangxi eagerly interrupted Li Guangdi's words. "Let's say something useful."

"Yes." Li Guangdi responded. "The minister thinks that the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong should implement the boundary closure order as a whole, and use the method of Fujian Province to move 50 miles to increase the difficulty of seizing the population by sea reversal, of course, it will not solve the problem, and there will only be a thousand days to be a thief and no thousand days to prevent thieves, and the minister thinks that Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province should re-establish a water division, once it is successful, the three roads will suppress Taiwan, and it will definitely be able to be leveled in one fell swoop."

"Fifty miles of sealed borders, so it will hurt my people." Kangxi pretended to be compassionate. "How can I bear it?"

"The emperor is worried about the people, and he is a rare emperor in the past." Li Guangdi first praised Kangxi, and then explained it with words that he didn't believe, of course, he also knew that Kangxi only needed an excuse, as for how bad this excuse was, the responsibility was not for Kangxi. "But the sea rebellion does not accept Wang Hua and has many remnants of the people, the emperor is to save their lives, although there is a temporary suffering, but as long as the sea rebellion is pacified, the land will still be returned to them in the future."

"I hope so." Kangxi seems to be a sincere expression. "I have to suffer my people for a few years, and when the sea is wiped out, the imperial court will definitely give the people who have moved to the border three years to make up for it."

"Your Majesty." Li Guangdi hurriedly knelt down and thanked him for this kind that had not yet existed, and then he got up and continued. "In addition, there are many troubles with Hongyi and Luzonyi, and the imperial court should be able to borrow teachers to help suppress them, and the Yi people are greedy for money, and the imperial court can lure them to take advantage of them, at least they will allow Taiwan out."

"Borrowing a teacher to help you suppress?" Kangxi frowned. "The rebellion of the imperial court also depends on the Yiren to come forward, and the face of the general is gone."

If it weren't for Kangxi himself in front of him, Li Guangdi would almost have increased his quota with his palm, yes, how did he say it, he forgot Kangxi's good name temper, this kind of teacher can do what he can't say, so he understood that he hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "The emperor's lesson is that this matter is that the minister is not thinking about it, and he asks the emperor to forgive him." ā€

"This is also for the country." Kangxi waved his hand to signal that the matter was over. "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"The minister thinks that the three governors of the three provinces do not interfere with each other, although it is beneficial to the military of the province, but just like the affairs of Wenzhou, they dare not trespass slightly, but it is not conducive to dealing with the plundering of the sea." Li Guangdi thought about it and added a building yƬ. "The minister thinks that the minister should lead the military of Pinghai and unify the command, so that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated."

"This is good." Kangxi nodded. "I can order the book to re-enter Fuzhou." Speaking of this, Kangxi shook his head. "The sea is not extinguished, the imperial treasury is scarce, and the army is stationed in the three provinces, this money?"

Kangxi meant to let Li Guangdi suggest a tax increase, but how did Li Guangdi answer this, so he was cold for a long time, and he said in a low voice: "With the old Suo Ge and the old Ming Ge, the emperor doesn't have to worry about money and trivial matters." ā€

Kangxi looked at Li Guangdi with some disappointment, and then his face froze: "That's right, it's inconvenient for you to meddle in this matter, just kneel down." ā€

Li Guangdi, who accompanied the king like a tiger, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then knelt down: "The minister retires"
