Since the end of the Shen Dynasty, the news of Ma Ying and Gong Tian's annihilation of the Fujian Provincial Navy Division came, and the atmosphere in the entire military courtyard has become relaxed, but only some low-level people who have joined the military, joined the military, and joined the army are contracted, as for several military members and Lin Sheng, Wu Shu and other bigwigs are still waiting for the final report with a calm face. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

"Lord, I just received a reward from Admiral." A happy soldier reported outside the door of the signing room, and was immediately ushered in by the flying fish-robed guard. "The Ma Jun Gate Department fought with the Qing Army's Guangdong Provincial Naval Division at the beginning of the unitary time, and the Qing captives were defeated in one blow, and our army sank, destroyed, and captured more than 120 Qing ships, and now the main fleet is pursuing the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to Nanao and Tongshan, and the follow-up battle reports will be submitted one after another."

As soon as the voice of joining the army fell, Wu Shu took the lead in congratulating Zheng Kezang and said: "Congratulations to the Lord, the Guangdong Navy Division has also been destroyed." ”

A hint of flush flashed on Zheng Kezang's face, although he had predicted the victory of this battle before the battle, but the shape of the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he could not guarantee that he would win until the time of confirming the results of the battle, not to mention that there were still a considerable number of officers and soldiers in Zheng's army who had doubts about whether a certain number of soft-sail plywood ships could resist a large number of old warships, and now the dust had settled.

Of course, Zheng Kezhang couldn't show the villain's expression, so he nodded indifferently: "Let's wait for the battle report from the north." ”

But it's really boring to sit and wait, so Zheng Kezhang ordered: "Wu Qing, Lin Qing, Qing and others will talk about a game and watch the battle alone." ”

Wu Shu and Lin Sheng glanced at each other and agreed, so the guards put on the chessboard, and the two began to fight each other. Taking advantage of the layout stage of the two, Zheng Kezang squinted his eyes and thought about it, but thinking about it, he fell asleep when he was drowsy. Seeing Zheng Kezhang pretend to sleep, Wu Shu and Lin Sheng immediately stopped, as if sitting opposite to Dabin, sipping tea lightly, relatively speechless.

I don't know how long it took, Zheng Kezang, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was suddenly awakened by the cheers outside the house, he opened his eyes and asked, "But the battle report about the water division of Zhejiang Province is here?" ”

Before Lin Sheng and Wu Shu could answer, a report sounded outside the door: "Lord, great victory, the water division of Zhejiang Province is all finished"

The Qing court spent millions of taels of silver, lasted five years, and finally rebuilt the three provinces, and the naval division actually collapsed in one day, and this kind of victory that determines the fate of a country based on the results of naval battles alone can only be compared with the defeat of the British Armada a hundred years ago, and the result will inevitably set off a turbulent wave in East Asia.

"Good," Zheng Kezhang stood up. "Now that the results are out, let's kneel." Zheng Kezhang calmly walked out of the military courtyard, and when he walked out of the door, he cared. "After all, it is a great joy to win, but the whole Taiwan can be exposed, and the people will know about it, so let's put the lights on for three more days and have fun with the people"

Sitting on the chariot, Zheng Kezhang picked up the train of thought he had just fallen asleep, the naval battle was won, what should I do next? Is it to take advantage of the vacillation of the Qing court's coastal defense to knock on the three provinces? Or do you wait for Jungar to enter the prison and then give a thunderous blow? Thinking about it, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but sigh bitterly, now that Dongning has more than enough self-preservation but can't make progress, is it possible to watch the opportunity slip through his fingers? Or gather strength and wait for Galdan to make a comeback in a few years

On the one hand, the speed of the Zheng army's report ship was much faster than that of the Qing army's junk ship, and on the other hand, in order to avoid the possible pursuit of the Zheng army, the remnants of the Fujian Provincial Naval Division, which was the first to be defeated, had to constantly change its course, so when the sound of the mourning horses' hooves tore apart the silence of the night, most of the people of Fuzhou had fallen asleep.

"Lord Wang!" Due to the delay of some time when passing through the city gate of Fuzhou, it was already four watches when the document was delivered to Jieshu's hand, and Jieshu, who woke up from a good dream, only finished reading the contents of the document, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, bluffing the guards in a hurry. "Passing on the Imperial Doctor"

"This king can't die yet!" Jieshu pushed away the supporting coating and stood on his heels. "Go, call all the generals"

By the time Wang Qiu, the governor of Fujian, Jin Hong, the governor of Fujian, and Hu Qiyuan, the general of Fuzhou and the admiral of the Fujian army division, hurried to the general to be ordered to march, the battle report of the defeat of the Guangdong naval division had also been delivered.

Looking at these two documents with almost identical measures, General Tufu looked like ashes, and Jin Hong's lips trembled: "How is it possible, how can it be defeated, doesn't it mean that most of the sailors of the sea rebellion have ceased to exist?" This, this"

However, Wang Qiu was still calmer: "The three-way army failed in two ways, but as long as the Zhejiang Navy Division can reach Dongning, this battle will have a chance to turn defeat into victory, don't be too worried about the prince and the two adults."

"That's right." Hu Qiyuan, who was under the blue flag of the Han army, hurriedly echoed. "Let's wait a while and report back to the court."

Seeing that the two local officials held the same opinion, Jie Shu, who was also lucky, agreed, and the four highest-ranking officials in Fujian sat together, waiting for the straw to save their lives.

During this period, Hu Qiyuan pondered the battle report that was said to be the first batch of survivors, but he had some discussion: "Is the plywood boat so powerful?" Didn't it say that in the battle of Liuluo Bay, Hongyi's plywood boat was defeated? And when the pseudo-rebel surname regained Dongning, didn't he also defeat the Hongyi plywood ship with the Fu ship and the Guang ship? Why was it transferred to the official army? ”

For such a question, the people present all knew seven or six tricks, and none of them knew anything, and it took a long time for Wang Qiu to question critically: "Hundreds of sea reverse plywood boats? Is this number reliable? Is it that those defeated soldiers deliberately exaggerated, the sea reverse has such a great power, why not use it on the Qionghai Sea? ”

This answer may be answered, but to make it clear that this is a trap set by Zheng Kezang, so that all those present who are still in Beijing fall into the trap, such an answer is equivalent to directly slapping Kangxi in the face, but these feudal officials whose status is enough to understand Kangxi's preferences dare not respond, so the tormenting tranquility reappeared in the living room.

An hour had passed, two hours had passed, and the sky had completely brightened. But the news of the Zhejiang sailor has not yet come, and Jie Shu and the others absentmindedly ate breakfast and continued to wait. However, the news that the governor and general over there had not seen through it spread far and wide, and the officialdom in Fujian was suddenly chaotic. All kinds of rumors are circulating everywhere, some people say that the army for the conquest of Taiwan has been defeated, some say that the army of the conquest of Taiwan has won, and some people know that something is wrong with Beijing.

But these unreliable speculations and rumors became clear with the arrival of a messenger near noon.

That's right, defeated, completely defeated, an unprecedented fiasco. In the three-way attack on Taiwan, more than 800 large and small ships and 80,000 Thai troops were half lost in the Taiwan Strait, and most of the remaining parts that survived were captured by the Zheng army, and less than one-eighth of the people and ships fled back to the mainland coastal waters in horror.

"Only Fu Kui escaped, Wan Zhengse and Liang Nai's life and death were gone, and there were no corpses" Jieshu, who got the final trial result, couldn't hold on any longer. "Tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in one day, how can this king explain to the emperor."

After saying that, Jie Shu leaned back softly, and was immediately snatched back to the back hall by the guards who cried for his father and mother.

"Taiwan, and today's plan must first stabilize people's hearts." But Jieshu can escape from illness, but Hu Qiyuan, Wang Qiu, and Jin Hong, whose status and trust in Kangxi's eyes are far below, have no way to escape, and the three of them who are anxious cut me and I will see you, it is not easy, and Jin Hong, who can only manage Fubiao, held back a few words. "In addition, no one can predict whether there will be a counterattack on Fujian after the victory of the sea rebellion, and it is a top priority to clean up the coastal defense."

"What the Fuyuan said is extremely true." Wang Qiu hurriedly arched his hand at Hu Qiyuan. "General, when it comes to military affairs, both the official and the Fuyuan are laymen, please don't shirk it, and focus on the overall situation of the southeast!"

Before Wang Qiu's words fell, another messenger rushed in: "Report, the sea is shelling Nanao, Tongshan, and Jinxia"

The situation was urgent, and Hu Qiyuan didn't care about being modest, so he immediately ordered: "In the name of Prince Kang, send someone to take off Fu Kui's top and wear a flower feather, and let him make meritorious contributions, and take the green flag soldiers and horses of Nanao and Tongshan to Chaozhang as much as possible." ”

"As for Xiamen and Kinmen." The muscles on Hu Qiyuan's face twitched. "This official went to Quanzhou to rescue, but the defense of Xinghua and the line of the provincial capital will be annoying to the labor army and the Fuyuan lord."

Jin Hong immediately responded: "No, it's better for the official to go to Quanzhou, and the general will either stay in Fuzhou or go to Haitan." ”

Jin Hong's consideration cannot but be said to be correct, after all, the defenders of Jinxia are still the green battalions of Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province, and they are more or less under the command of Fuzhou, but if the Zhejiang Provincial Green Battalion in Haitan uses the safety of Zhejiang Province as an excuse to demand the withdrawal of troops, it is not an ordinary governor of a neighboring province who can suppress them, and it is necessary for Hu Qiyuan, who once served as the deputy commander of Hangzhou, to suppress them.

Hu Qiyuan is also a veteran soldier, and as soon as he said this, he understood the key to it, and he was full of answers: "Then please ask the governor for Fuzhou and reporting to the imperial court." ”

No matter how powerful the Zheng army is, it is not easy to attack Fuzhou, so defending Fuzhou is the easiest way to stabilize Fuzhou's coastal defense, but reporting the funeral to the imperial court is an unlucky errand? But the more tricky thing has been snatched away by Jin Hong and Hu Qiyuan, Wang Qiu is not good at picking fat and thin, so after a little hesitation, he nodded and responded: "Well, since Prince Kang is sick, this defeated document will naturally be written by this official, right?"

Just after noon, the two teams of knights rushed out from the ordered general's line, Hu Qiyuan, who had no care to return to the government, just issued a codex to let the three thousand Fuzhou garrison eight banners obey the governor's instructions and then galloped south, and Jin Hong, who could not ride a horse, asked people to tie him to the horse and rushed to Quanzhou against time.

Less than half an hour after the departure of the two teams of knights, another group of knights left the line and went straight north, and then the whole of Fuzhou began to be under martial law
