********************************************************************
Although the war situation in Fujian Province has changed due to the civil strife of the Zheng family, the Ming army has already occupied a clear advantage, especially the impact of defeating the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, which has tilted the balance of the war in favor of the Ming army.
In Fujian, there were three Qing armies with relatively effective combat effectiveness, Geng Jingzhong's vassal soldiers, Shi Lang's naval division of Tong'an's general army, and Huang Wu's troops of Haicheng Gong of Zhangzhou. Now that the two of the three are gone, Geng Jingzhong's vassal soldiers were first wiped out in the operation to aid Guangdong, and then suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, and their strength was lost by nearly half, and it was difficult to resist the Ming army with complete land and water alone.
The defeat of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners undoubtedly prompted the Qing army, which was waiting and hesitating, to make a final decision. Hope is gone, the backbone of the main heart is about to collapse, don't you still think about yourself and your net worth?
In March, the Ming Army's East Route Army attacked Tong'an, and the Qing Tong'an garrison surrendered Hua Shanglan to the city; Soon, the Haicheng guards faced the menacing Ming army and surrendered; In April, the Qing general Wang Fanxi planned to kill Lai Yu, the defender of Quanzhou, and Wang Jin, the general of the Geng Domain, and surrendered anyway.
The Western Route Army led by Ma Bao successively recovered Dehua, Yongchun, Datian, Yongan and other counties, and the spearhead of the attack of the two route armies was directly aimed at Fuzhou, Geng Jingzhong's nest.
β¦β¦β¦β¦.
Geng Jingzhong is shrinking his forces? Reading the latest battle reports. Zhu Yongxing made a judgment. This is also the main reason for the rapid progress of the Ming army at present, judging from the Qing soldiers who annihilated the enemy and surrendered the Qing generals, Geng Fan is getting fewer and fewer.
Shrink the troops, gather in Fuzhou, and rely on Jiancheng to fight to the death with the Ming army? Or is it to stall for time and wait for reinforcements from other provinces? Zhu Yongxing showed a sneer.
At present, only Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces can reinforce Fujian. The Qing army in Jiangxi was gathering in Ganzhou. confronted Li Sixing's subordinates, who had captured the Great and Small Meilings; However, the Qing army's naval division was almost wiped out, and Zhejiang's coastal areas such as Wenzhou, Taizhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Jiaxing faced a threat at any time, and it was impossible to send too many troops to aid Fujian.
Defend it, keep it! In this way, it is easier to clean up, and when the water and land are caught in Fuzhou, Geng Jingzhong will definitely end up with the same fate as Shang Kexi.
"Your Highness, your subordinates will return the king's seal." Zha Rulong, director of the confidential office, respectfully presented Wang Yin.
"Good work." Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to take it, looked at Zha Rulong, and pointed to his face with a smile.
"Pre-support certificates" and "land vouchers" must be stamped with the king's seal. This is Zhu Yongxing's meaning, which not only shows the importance of meritorious people, but also a means to buy people's hearts. With the certificate of the king's seal, for the common people, it is a great honor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is offered. While getting the benefits, he also kept the benefactor Zhu Yongxing, the king of Min, in mind. At the same time, it is also a kind of conceptual covert transformation. Zhu Yongxing represents the imperial court, and it will be in the future. He is the court.
Zha Rulong rubbed his face embarrassedly, and said: "The righteous people of Fujian Province are no less than Guangdong, and the enthusiasm of Cheng DΓΉ has passed, His Royal Highness's incentive policy has achieved remarkable results, and it has won the hearts of the people!" β
"The hearts of the people, the Qing court has lost it. How can you be lonely? Zhu Yongxing sighed softly, groaned, and said in a low voice: "Are you sure of the handwriting and seal of King Yanping?" β
Zha Rulong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured." The subordinates are already seven or eight points sure. β
"That'll be fine." Zhu Yongxing exhaled a long breath gently, "Be prepared, don't say if you can use it, if you don't have a preparation, you won't be able to hold that Zheng Jing." β
"My subordinates understand." Zha Rulong suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Your Highness, maybe we don't need to make a move, and there will be a trick on the Taiwan side to deal with Zheng Jing?" β
Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly, this is right, he occupies the righteousness of the imperial court, how can Zheng Xi and others in Taiwan not take this path? It seems that the initiative is indeed in their own hands.
For Fujian, it is the hardest hit area of coastal relocation, especially in Xingzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. The people who have been relocated have all lost their livelihoods, have been displaced, crying is terrible, and the human tragedy of betraying their husbands and children, and losing their fathers and wives can be seen everywhere.
It is precisely because of this that the arrival of the Ming army was supported by the general public. There is also a series of incentive policies, and the enthusiasm of supporting the front and supporting the army is no less than that of Guangdong.
The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is not unreasonable. Especially at a time when dynasties are changing and people's hearts are unstable. The short-sightedness and tyranny of the Qing court dug a grave for themselves. The times are different, because Zhu Yongxing's survival zΓ i, the Southern Ming Dynasty has not been extinguished, and there is a great trend of revival, the people have hope, there is light, and the repercussions aroused are naturally greater.
For Zhu Yongxing, he also recognized the advantages of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the confrontation. That is to launch and organize, although there is no escape from the means of luring each other, but in terms of war potential, Nanming already has the capital to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
The access to funds and materials, the relaxed policy of benefiting the people, the enthusiasm of the people to support the army, and the speed of expanding the army and equipment, the Southern Ming Dynasty greatly surpassed the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, every time he recovers, he can mobilize his manpower and material resources and tie up Zhu Yongxing's chariot. In this regard, the Qing Dynasty was beyond the reach of the dust.
Don't look at the main direction of the Ming army's attack in Fujian, the garrisons in other places are actually constantly replenishing and strengthening. Li Dingguo in Sichuan, Bai Wenxuan in Yunnan, Li Sixing and Ma Weixing at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the garrison division in Guangzhou, once the gap in guns and ammunition was filled, the Ming army could start a huge counteroffensive in several provinces south of the Yangtze River.
The advantages of musketeers are also becoming more and more apparent, and they can be trained in a month and can go into battle with guns. If it is urgent, a week or half a month, it can also be replenished into the army to train in battle. This kind of speed, and then there is a way to supplement the old with the new, which is also incomparable to the Qing Dynasty.
Judging from the current shape, it is quite like the time when Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, was the king of the Jin Dynasty, and the momentum of the Ming army was soaring, and the Qing army did not dare to engage in battle. However, the civil strife of the Zheng family has added variables, although the initiative is in hand, Zhu Yongxing also has to weigh the pros and cons, so as not to make the Ming army and the Zheng family in danger of merging.
After Zheng Chenggong's death, the generals in Taiwan, Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen and others thought Zheng Jing was "incestuous and unbearable", supported Zheng Xi as the lord of the eastern capital, and divided troops to prepare to resist Zheng Jing.
After Zheng Jing got the news, he took Chen Yonghua to join the army in consultation, Zhou Quanbin as the governor of the five armies, and Feng Xifan as the guard, and prepared to cross the Taiwan with the whole division.
In this way, the two forces of the Zheng family, Taiwan and Jinxia, will have to get great righteousness and permission from the "imperial court". Zheng Jing wants to inherit the title of King Yanping and the honor of the national surname; Zheng Xi also had to be canonized by the "imperial court" in order to justifiably resist Zheng Jing.
The focus suddenly focused on Zhu Yongxing, and when the left and right were at the source, Zhu Yongxing of course had to strive to form the most favorable situation for himself.
