On November 15, the 46th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, under the observation of tens of thousands of Fuzhou people wearing Han costumes, Zheng Jianguo completed a complete set of procedures for worshiping the heavens, ancestors and shrines, and then ascended the throne of the Ming Emperor in the palace rebuilt by the Yamen of the Fujian Governor, and became the twentieth monarch of the Ming Dynasty, with the year name Wuding.

Since Emperor Wuding succeeded to the throne, he naturally wanted to reward him again, the prince Zhu Ciene was promoted to the crown prince, and the other two sons were kings, and the rest of the clans were also promoted not to mention, in addition, according to Zheng Kezang's sponsorship, Emperor Wuding also appointed four cabinet scholars for the first time, six scholars, squires, and the imperial history of the Imperial Palace.

Among them, Zhejiang Governor Hong Lei served as the cabinet assistant, and was a scholar of Wenhuadian University, a young master of the prince, and a new Changbo; Yang Ying, the governor of Fujian, is the second assistant of the cabinet, and is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, a young master of the prince, and a young master of Mingxi; Ke Ping, the left member of the original Ming Zheng Zhengshitang, was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a prince Shaobao; Zheng Yingping, who participated in politics on the right side of the former political affairs hall, was a scholar of Dongge University and a prince of Shaobao.

In addition, Zheng Bin, the governor of Guangdong, served as the secretary of the ministry, Chen Shenwu, the governor of eastern Zhejiang, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Liangrui, the left senator of the political affairs hall, concurrently served as the secretary of the household department, Cai Ji, the right senator of the political affairs hall, concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Yan Gang, the director of the police department, was in charge of the left squire of the criminal department, Guo Kai, the director of the criminal prison, was the counselor of the right squire of the criminal department, Lin Heng, the director of the Military Affairs Department, was in charge of the left squire of the military department, Cai Qian, the chief of the Ordnance Department, was the right squire of the military department, Wu Qian, the governor of eastern Fujian, was the left capital of the Imperial History, and Cai Hanxiang, the secretary of the Chayan Division, was concurrently the right capital of the imperial history.

However, whether it is the cabinet ministers or the scholars, they are just empty shells, and in fact, it is the political hall and the officials of the original Ming and Zheng Domains who hold the real power of the Wuding Dynasty. Of course, in order to meet the development needs of the form, the political affairs hall was renamed the military division of the metropolitan governor's office, and the original political affairs hall was changed to the metropolitan governor's office senator, and the original left and right senators were changed to the metropolitan governor's office counselors to join the army. As for the divisions, they were renamed as the Metropolitan Governor's Office Experience Division, for example, the Police Division was renamed the Metropolitan Governor's Police Experience Division.

At this time, the Military Academy was also renamed the Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Lin Sheng's General Chapter Military Staff was changed to the General Staff, and at the same time, Hong Gongzhu, Mao Hongyan, and Wu Shu were promoted to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and Sun Youlao and Lin Xian's left and right staff members were also renamed the Left and Right Deputy General Staff, and the military participation system was changed to a first-class staff officer, the military participation system was changed to a second-class staff officer, the military participation system was changed to a third-class staff officer, and the military participation was changed to a fourth-class staff officer. As a result, the posts of general staff officers, commanders of staff, and staff officers of all divisions, regiments, and outposts were also changed to general staff, chief of staff, and staff officers respectively.

As soon as the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Wuding ended, Zheng Bin, who hurriedly rushed to Fuzhou from Qiongzhou, and Deng Lincai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, who was also the judge of the Dadu Governor's Office, found Zheng Kezhang as soon as possible. The two unanimously demanded that Zheng Kezhang give priority to solving the problem of the shortage of dozens of Fuzhou and county officials and auxiliary officials in the areas occupied by Ming and Zheng in the two provinces, and Lin Liangrui, the secretary of the left counselor and the secretary of the household department, also added chaos to Gu Tongshan, the secretary of the Yingtian Experience Division and the left attendant, and asked Zheng Kezhang to help solve the problem of insufficient harvest of autumn grain in the current year and a large loss of cultivated population due to the war in the coming year.

In the face of the siege of these four important ministers, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but have a big head, so he had to push all the problems to the Military Department of the Dadu Governor's Mansion. At the same time, in order to avoid suspicion and misunderstanding between Cai Yuanshu and Wang Xinhua, who had just been promoted to the earldom, the central government of the Wuding Dynasty temporarily did not send orders to the prefectures and counties in northern Fujian and western Fujian occupied by the two men, and agreed in principle to the list of sponsors proposed by the two men.

Zheng Kezhang had no objection to the decision made by the Military Affairs Department in the name of the cabinet, but only proposed that "if I or my ancestors have held a false position and applied for the imperial examination of the puppet dynasty, as long as they can raise the city or lead the troops to vote, and are willing to accept the unified dispatch of the Ming and Zheng sides", they can try to reform themselves and no longer be punished as traitors.

The cabinet was a little puzzled by the change in Zheng Kezang's attitude, but those who understood must obey, and those who do not understand must also obey, so they "amnesty" the world in the name of Emperor Wuding, and this edict, together with Emperor Wuding's enthronement edict, soon spread throughout the Ming and Zheng ruling areas and spread to Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Suzhou, Lu and other places, not only quickly stabilized the hearts of the people in the Ming and Zheng ruling areas, but also further shaken the gentry under the rule of the Qing court.

Of course, it was the armed forces that determined the ownership of South China, and the Qing armies from all walks of life worked extremely hard under the persecution of Kangxi, who was stationed in Shaoxing. The Qing army in southern Zhejiang, which had more than 60,000 troops, attacked non-stop in the direction of Xiapu after attacking Fujian. Cai Yuan's department, which suffered heavy losses in the five-month Zhejiang-Fujian border blockade, had to abandon Funing (note: Zhixiapu County, Funing Prefecture) and retreat to the front line of Zhouning. After receiving the news of Cai Yuanshu's retreat, the 4th Regiment of the Zheng Army's Hailongxiang Division, which was deployed on the Dongchong Peninsula, immediately rushed to Ningde, and the headquarters of the Fubo fleet also drove into Sanduao to respond. At the same time, the left and right Yongwei divisions who were fighting in northern Fujian were also ordered to return quickly, vowing to block the Qing army invading south in the heavy "gate" composed of the Donggong Mountain Range, the Eagle Peak Mountain Range, the Taimu Mountain Range and the Tianhu Mountain Range (Note: the terrain of Ningde is a gate-shaped ladder).

The evacuation of the left and right Yongwei divisions led to the sudden weakening of the Zheng army in northern Fujian, the Qing army in western Zhejiang broke through the Xianxia Ancient Road and broke into the territory of Pucheng, Hong Gongzhuxuan was about to withdraw the main force to Jianning Mansion (Jian'ou) for rectification, and the rest of the small forces repeatedly attacked and harassed the Qing army in the lofty mountains of Wuyi Mountain in northwest Fujian, although the Qing army broke into Fujian, but the pace was slow.

The Qing army in southern Gannan also had the intention of attacking western or northwestern Fujian after repelling Wang Xinhua's attack, but the rapid march of Zheng's army into northern Guangdong made Yu Chenglong, who had limited troops, dare not act rashly. After hesitating for a long time on the issue of aiding Fujian or Guangdong, Yu Chenglong, who is also the governor of Jiangxi, can only choose Wang Xinhua in the direction of Tingzhou as a breakthrough. However, the green camp of Jiangxi Province, which finally crossed the mountains, was hit by a blue nose and swollen face under the capital of Tingzhou, and Wang Xinhua's ministry came out of Ninghua again with strange soldiers to threaten Shicheng, and Yu Chenglong, who had never known soldiers, could only withdraw to Ruijin in a hurry.

Since the progress of the Qing army in the direction of Fujian can be described as difficult, the eyes of the whole world have to turn to the Guangdong battlefield, which may be able to turn the tide. At this time, He Cadres, who had conquered Shaoguan, encountered the challenge of Yunyang Town, Yichang Town, Green Banner Soldiers of Hubei Province, Yongzhou Town, Hunan Green Camp, and Jingzhou Garrison Eight Banners. However, Weiling, Da Yuling, Dadong Mountain, Yaoling Mountain, Qiwei Mountain, and Qingyun Mountain lay across the territory of Shaoguan from north to south, and the Qing army could only advance slowly along the Wujiang Valley, and there was nothing to be done about the Zheng army for a while. As for the direction of Zhaoqing, Mao Hongyan had already traced the Xijiang River to Deqing, and unlike the hydrological conditions of the Wujiang and Zhenjiang rivers in the direction of Shaoguan, the Xijiang River was wide and deep, and although Zheng Jun's cruising boats did not dare to go deeper, the modified shallow water gunboats and ordinary thousand-material reporting ships could still calmly sail in. With the help of the naval division and gunboats, the Qing army in Guangxi, which did not have an inland water division, could not break through the defense line of the Zheng army at all, and the two sides fought several times under the city of Deqing.

At the time when the war between Fujian and Guangdong was disturbing, almost no one noticed that Zheng Kezang, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation in Fuzhou City, had disappeared, and even some of the senior officers of the Ming and Zheng sides did not find out, but only eight of the Zheng Army's descendant land divisions, which had now expanded to 17 divisions, were used on the battlefield in Fujian and Guangdong.

On December 17, the 46th year of Yongli, the Zheng Army's Northern Fleet attacked the coastal areas of Shandong and Zhili again, captive nearly 200 households and 1,000 people from the two provinces, and then landed in Fuzhou and other places five days later, and killed a Manchu Eight Banner Defense and more than a dozen banner soldiers in a coastal defense post.

Also on December 17, Kangxi, who lived aggrieved in Shaoxing, decided to return to Hangzhou for the New Year, but the royal horse who dragged the royal chariot was inexplicably frightened on the way, which once caused great chaos in the convoy, although in the end the accompanying guards killed the crazy royal horse to rescue the Kangxi who was turned upside down, but this unlucky sign still made Kangxi extremely unhappy, so he decided to go to Suzhou to recuperate after the year, and at the same time repatriate the accompanying army, and re-rotate the troops from the forbidden brigade Eight Banners and Shanxi, Zhili, Shandong, and Henan provinces.

On December 24, Cai Yuan's book, which had been resting in Zhouning, Zhenghe and other places for more than a month, entered Jianning Mansion because of supply problems. Although the influx of friendly troops greatly increased the strength of Hong Gongzhu's hands, and the grasp of the Qing army resisting the invasion of western Zhejiang was also greatly enhanced, but the arrival of Cai Yuan's book department also made the already weak food supply system in northwest Fujian more tight, and there was no direct control relationship between the two departments, and there was also a lot of dirt in the distribution of accommodation and baggage.

However, Hong Gongzhu's concession did not get a good result, because he could not satisfy his insatiable subordinates, and on the night of December 28, the disturbance of several battalions of Caibu soon developed into a mutiny of the whole army. Cai Yuanshu and Gu Yongfen, the commander of the Right Funing Division, were killed by the rebels, and Zhou Zhenghe, the commander of the Zuo Funing Division, who escaped by luck, fled to Yanping with injuries.

At this time, Hong Gongzhu, who had just led his troops into Yanping to recuperate, received a report from Zhou Zhenghe, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then he didn't care that the New Year was imminent, so he ordered a division of soldiers and horses to rush north, and took advantage of the rebels in the carnival to rush into Jianning Mansion and pacify the rebellious army in one fell swoop. However, after this change, Jianning was no longer suitable to serve as a fortress against the Qing army's attack. As a last resort, after killing all the rebels, Hong Gongzhu could only retreat to Nanping with his troops on the first day of the first month of the first year of Wuding.

Since the changes in northwest Fujian have not yet been conveyed to Fuzhou, the city of Fuzhou is still a scene of lights and joy. Zheng Kezang, who returned to Fuzhou, reappeared and personally led hundreds of officials to congratulate Emperor Wuding on the New Year, and Emperor Wuding awarded Zheng Kezang, one of the three orphans, Shaobao, as a New Year's reward, and the two staged a live drama of getting along with each other.
