Tu Hai's conclusion that the so-called great war of the Qing army's entry into Fujian was "probably a lie made by Prince Ding and tried to make a lie about his military exploits" directly attacked the habitual understanding of "the only man in the world" that had been formed by the Qing army for many years.

But Tu Hai seemed to be sure in his heart, and when he saw Wu Bai being angry with him, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him very enthusiastically, but was very neatly shaken off the sleeves of his robe by the old Wu Bai and ignored it.

"Master Wu must not be angry, but what the younger generation said is the truth. At that time, the emperor was still in his prime, and the government was also controlled by Prince Rui Dorgon. Today is also the time to reveal the truth. As for what happens after that, whether to go with the flow or set things right, we have our own masters and sons, and we are slaves, but we need to know everything and say everything, right? Tu Hai simply stood by Wu Bai's side and persuaded him with good words. Although the words were directed at Wu Bai, the truth was said to everyone.

"Well, Tuhai has a point! I still don't know a lot about many government affairs back then, and today you Aiqing and I will listen to Tuhai's words, which can be regarded as picking up the missing pieces. As for what will happen next, I will naturally have to discuss it with you before making a decision. ”

Hearing that Dolgon was in charge of the government, Fu Lin suddenly strengthened his determination to let Tuhai and Pan confess. After all, Bolo's actions, whether or not Dolgon's instructions behind his back, may never get the answer from the mouth of the dead. However, the truth is to be clarified.

"The minions obey." Wu Bai had no choice but to obey the emperor's wishes. Everyone could only endure all kinds of criticism of Tuhai on their lips.

"The slave thanked the master!" Tu Hai was excited in his heart, and he also thanked Fu Lin with the titles of "slave" and "master" that he rarely used in the past.

"Say it." Fu Lin looked at Tuhai expectantly. Allow him to speak freely.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu just mentioned the previous battles of the Eight Banners into Fujian, so the servants will analyze one or two of them one by one, and the result is naturally the emperor, you will decide."

"Good!"

"Huh! The servants read through the documents of the imperial court and the puppet government of the Southern Ming Dynasty at that time, and the benefits of sorting out were so determined. Let's talk about the battle of Xianxialing first. Tu Hai calmly and calmly, and said carefully-

Xianxialing is the first pass on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang, and it is also the place that must pass through from Zhejiang to Fujian. The trails here are steep. You can only pass one person and one horse. Since ancient times, people who enter Fujian have suffered a lot from Pucheng Mountain Road. Therefore, the establishment of troops here is enough to block the foreign male soldiers.

Xianxialing's position is so dangerous. Naturally, it became the focus of Emperor Longwu's defense. As early as the time when Longwu was proclaimed emperor. He sent Zheng Hongkui to lead his troops to garrison Xianxialing. The Qing army that attacked Huizhou was defeated. After that, Zheng Hongkui contradicted the strategy of Emperor Longwu. Emperor Longwu asked Zheng Hongkui to attack in a big way, and Zheng Hongkui thought: The defense is acceptable, and the attack is self-defeating. The contradiction between the two was finally irreconcilable, and on March 25, the second year of Longwu, Zheng Hongkui abandoned the army and left because Emperor Longwu refused to adopt his opinion, shaving his hair and becoming a monk. In March and April of the second year of Longwu (the third year of Shunzhi), Xianxialing was unguarded.

After Emperor Longwu lost Zheng Hongkui, he had no choice but to rely on Zheng Zhilong. At the same time, in order to contain Zheng Zhilong, Emperor Longwu also sent civil officials as supervisors, "with the squire Zhang Tiaoding and the Taoist minister Zhao Bingshu to guard the Yongding Pass, Xie Shaofang and the minister Zhou Weixin to guard the Da'an Pass, and Huang Dapeng and the Taiwanese minister Zheng Weihong to guard the Xianxia Pass; It is necessary to reconcile the soldiers and the people, detect the traitors, and reward the soldiers with the guards, and punish the guilty. In June, such an incident happened: "Zheng Weihong, the inspector of the imperial history, blamed the generals Chen Jun and Zou Tai for leveling the standard, and Zhilong secretly sued the above." Shang said: 'Fighting and tranquility are all based on civil and military harmony. For the rainbow to blame, but also on behalf of the secretary of constraints, the secretary is fortunate not to be guilty. It should be regarded as one with the king's ministers and the king's affairs, which is equivalent to being in the same boat, and it is especially desirable'. On June 16, it was said, "Pingyi Hou Zheng Zhilong transferred Zeng De back to Xianxia Pass and obeyed it." It can be seen from this that as of June, Zheng Zhilong was still directly in charge of the defenders of Xianxialing.

In May and June of the second year of Longwu, Zheng Zhilong's conflict with Emperor Longwu intensified over Chen Qian's incident, and he was personally sent to Fuzhou in mid-to-late June to supervise this year's imperial examinations. After Zheng Zhilong left northern Fujian, the strength of the Fujian army defending Xianxialing was weak, and the book "Longwu Jiluo" recorded: "Zhilong only left 2,000 troops, divided into Songguan, Chong'an, Zhenghe, Songxi, Shouning and other places. "The above four counties and one pass are all located on the border of Fujian, and a total of 2,000 troops are guarding the four counties, and in fact there is no Liliang at all. After Zheng Zhilong retreated to Anhai, in July, he further withdrew all the Zheng army he could mobilize to the coast, leaving Xianxia Pass completely empty. This is obviously an arrangement of Zheng Zhilong's response to the Qing army.

Against this background, on 13 August, when the Qing army crossed Xianxialing, Xianxialing was already "without a single soldier of the defenders", and "the Qing cavalry calmly crossed the ridge". Fujian records that the Qing army crossed Xianxialing on August 13 and occupied Pucheng County on August 17, which took five days before and after. From this, it can be seen that the Qing army basically occupied Pucheng County smoothly during the march and was not hindered. The so-called Qing army fought Huang Mingjun in Xianxialing is simply impossible.

"Your Majesty, this fact proves that the so-called great battle against Xianxialing and the capture of Pucheng by Turai and others are completely false." Tuhai's detailed historical arguments shocked everyone when they heard it, but they were powerless to refute it.

"Hmm!" Fu Lin nodded convincingly and motioned to continue.

"Let's take a look at the Battle of the Watershed and the aftermath." Tu Haiqi was victorious, greatly encouraged, and continued to speak in one breath.

The watershed pass is a major pass on the border between Fujian and Jiangxi. It is located between Chong'an County in northern Fujian and Leadshan County in Jiangxi. The travel guide of the Ming Dynasty recorded the mountain road from Chong'an to Lead Mountain: "Forty miles to Da'an Station, it is expected that Lang will return to the mountain, and its stone looks like a woman standing on the top of the mountain hand in hand, there are often clouds and mist, and people are often not seen." If you see, Da Jili, cross the Jimen Pass but seven stations by land, if you take a small sedan chair, and the disciples and men are careful, or to fifty or sixty miles, then go to these seven stations. …… This is a stop on the mountain road. Twenty miles to the water division inspection department. At the head of the ridge. There is the first place in Fujian, back to the word. Forty miles across the river boundary, one mile as for the Guiling. There is a sub-regulation shop under it, fifty miles to the goose lake station, and the lead county is in charge. It can be seen that the mountain road of Fenshui Pass will take several days, and it is also a dangerous pass, if the Ming army seriously defends, it will be difficult for the Qing army to break through.

The strategy adopted by the Qing army was: divide the troops into Fujian, attack the water pass, break the Ming Tang Dynasty will be blessed, and enter Chong'an. beheaded the governor Yang Wenying and others. Xiaxinghua, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou. "Shi Fu is one of Zheng Zhilong's generals, and his troops are the backbone of Zheng Zhilong's department. He was mainly stationed in the town of Leadshan Hekou, outside the water distribution pass in Chong'an County, and fought in this area to cover the water distribution pass. If Shi Fu has been stationed in Lead Mountain. The Qing army entered Fujian from Fenshuiguan. Be sure to defeat the Blessing Department first. However. In the second year of Longwu, after Chen Qian was killed by Emperor Longwu, Zheng Zhilong left Yanping Mansion. "Zhilong returned to Anhai, and the guard general Shi Fu claimed that he was short of pay, and he also withdrew to Anhai. In the two hundred miles of Xianxia Ridge, there was no soldier, but the chief of the guard and several ministers sent to spy on the enemy were heard. ”

It can be seen that Shi Fu had withdrawn his troops from Xianxia Pass (or Fenshui Pass) according to Zheng Zhilong's order before the Qing army entered Fujian. It is impossible for him to fight the Qing army at the Fenshui Pass. After Shi Fu withdrew his troops, Tang Wei, the head of the Nanming Army, recruited hundreds of troops in Jianning Mansion to defend Leadshan. On August 13, the Qing army reached Lead Mountain, where Tang Wei died.

In short, there was no big battle when the Qing army entered the Fenshui Pass, but it was only bravely resisted by Tang Wei recruited in Leadshan County, Jiangxi, and Tang Wei's department was only a few hundred people, which could not have a great effect. Therefore, the Qing army entered Fujian from Fenshui Pass, and there was no big war, let alone a big war with Shi Fu's department.

As for the occupation of Jianning Mansion by the Qing army, it was won without a fight.

Jianning Fucheng is today's Fujian Jian'ou, which was once known as Jianzhou in history and is an important town in northern Fujian. Whether it is entering Fujian from Xianxialing, or entering Fujian from the water dividing pass, the first big city encountered is Jianning Fucheng. Therefore, since ancient times, Jianning Mansion City has been the first fortress to be captured by the army entering Fujian. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Red Turban Army entered Fujian and captured the city of Jianning after four tragic battles. After Emperor Longwu came to northern Fujian, he spent most of his time in the city of Jianning, which became one of the important targets of the Qing army. However, when the Qing army entered Fujian in August of the second year of Longwu, there was no major battle in Jianning Fucheng. The first prefect of the Jianning Mansion of the Qing Dynasty was Cheng Yi, who was appointed in the third year of Shunzhi with the former official surrender to Cheng. Cheng Yi later presided over the compilation of the "Chronicles of Jianning Mansion", which recorded: "On August 19, the Qing army broke Jianyang, and on the 21st, from Jianning Mansion, Yang Taiye of this mansion led Cheng Sanfu, Gao Sifu, Ye Erfu, Li Jian'an, and Wang Ouning out of the city to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The Great Qing Dynasty conquered the southern general Bellebolo to oversee the army into the city. It can be seen that the Qing army occupied Jianning Mansion City on August 21 of the second year of Longwu, and the local Ming Dynasty officials surrendered collectively and went outside the city to meet the Qing army, and the Qing army won Jianning Mansion City without a fight.

The so-called battle of Yanping Mansion City is like this:

Yanping Mansion City is Nanping, this place is only more than 100 miles away from Jianning Mansion City, therefore, after the Qing army's vanguard occupies Jianning Mansion City, take a little rest, and go straight to Nanping. According to the biography of Wang Shihe in the "Nanping County Chronicle", Shihe was appointed as the prefect of Yanping by Longwu on July 26, and on August 22, the Qing army came to the city of Yanping Mansion. has ascended to defend it, and the people have fled completely. So, the Qing army went down to Yanping Mansion without a fight, and Wang Shihe committed suicide. When Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, he once boasted of "returning to Yanping's pawn", which shows that at least part of the escape of the army guarding Yanping is Zheng Zhilong's "credit".

About the Battle of Tingzhou City:

On August 22, the Qing army attacked and occupied Nanping, Emperor Longwu left Nanping on the previous 21st, and went to Shunchang on the 24th. "The servants stop at He Wusu, Guo Weijing, Zhu Jizuo, and Huang Mingjun." The imperial camp composed of the Fuzhou guards he led was defeated without a fight. The Qing advance then followed. Emperor Longwu was relieved to meet the Fujian army of Zhou's Zhifan sent by Tingzhou to pick him up on the way, and arrived in Tingzhou on August 27. He paused here for a day and set out on the morning of August 29. However, the Qing army that followed had come to the city, and they pretended to be the Ming army to coax open the city gate, rushed forward with light horses, killed Zhou Zhifan who came to inquire, and captured Emperor Longwu, the kings and their families. After the Qing army succeeded, they returned to Nanping with their prisoners. Then the Qing army under Li Chengdong, who entered Fujian from Chong'an, went south from Shaowu in order to follow Emperor Longwu, and entered Tingzhou City a few days later. The situation in the Battle of Tingzhou was nothing more than that.

Speaking of which, Tuhai emphasized:

"In the historical materials of our dynasty, it is recorded here: 'The king of the Ming and Tang dynasties went to Tingzhou from Yanping, and sent Baya Laqizhangjing Azignikan, Durd and other commanders to pursue and conquer the city. The king of the Tang Dynasty and the kings of his clan sent it to Fuzhou. The Ming general Jiang Zhengxi attacked Tingzhou at night with 20,000 people, and he has ascended, and our army went out to kill more than half of them. Ori Kune, am I right? ”

"What Tu Shangshu said is correct!"

The scholar hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and got up respectfully in agreement.

"Thanks! In this way, the battle of Tingzhou City is different, and the key difference is: Was there a night attack on Tingzhou City by 20,000 Ming troops at that time? If this is the case, then the Qing army that attacked and occupied Tingzhou not only captured Emperor Longwu and the kings. Moreover, more than 20,000 Ming troops were defeated. It's a great achievement. But in fact, the so-called 'Ming General Jiang Zhengxi' is a fictitious gentleman. In the annals of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the chronicles of Tingzhou, there is no trace of this person at all! Moreover, the Ming army at this time. Most of them concentrated under the city of Ganzhou to fight a decisive battle with our soldiers. It is impossible to have a contingent of 20,000 people in Tingzhou without using it. The so-called Jiang Zhengxi led 20,000 troops to counterattack Tingzhou. It's just a lie made up by the generals of our army in order to exaggerate their own military exploits! ”

Everyone was stunned and didn't dare to say a word!

"Look at the attack and defense of Fuzhou City!" Tuhai was unmoved, and continued to put on a fierce display!

Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian Province. Located in the lower reaches of the Min River, in July of the second year of Hongguang, the Tang King called the emperor here, changed the Yuan Longwu, and renamed Fuzhou Tianxingfu. In December of the first year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu left Fuzhou and went to northern Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong was left here to preside over the work of collecting taxes and making guns. On August 22 of the second year of Longwu, after the Qing army occupied Nanping, it could have gone down the river and attacked Fuzhou. However, as Emperor Longwu fled to Tingzhou, the Qing army's offensive turned to the west, and Fuzhou had a few days of respite.

Zheng Zhilong stayed in Fuzhou until 14 September, when he withdrew to Anhai. At that time, the secret of his surrender to the Qing Dynasty had not yet been known to the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and his subordinates were still arranging defenses in Fuzhou. As a result, Zheng Zhilong lined up the cannons in Hongtang, and the city of Fuzhou was still consolidated. But Zheng Zhilong's intention was just to rush the time to transport the arms from Fuzhou to Anhai, and wait until everything was arranged properly, that is, after his ships were docked in Nantai for a few days, and when he finished transporting the gunpowder and weapons stored in the old Beiku in the city, he burned the Beiku clean! At that time, "the huge cannon shook and collapsed." ”

However, the Qing army entered Fuzhou on September 18, after Zheng Zhilong's retreat. The Qing army entered Fuzhou and was received by the Huang family in Yongfu County. Huang Wenhuan, a squire of Yongfu County, raised troops to meet the Qing soldiers, and county officials went to Yanping in person. Towards Baylor. Due to the guidance of Huang Wenhuan's father and son, "the Qing soldiers did not reach the provincial capital by the mountain path, and they were defeated."

"Your Majesty, my lords, it can be seen that the Qing army entered Fuzhou without a fight!" Tu Hai finished talking about all the original battles in one breath, and paused politely, waiting for someone to refute it. But it turned out to be surprisingly quiet. In this case, Tuhai can only make a summary statement.

Based on this, Tuhai asserted: In the third year of Shunzhi, the Qing army entered Fujian, and there were almost no major battles. Longwu officials in various places fled or surrendered, and a few committed suicide. Our army did not meet decent resistance at all. This has a lot to do with Zheng Zhilong's internal and external cooperation back then. However, the soldiers have gained Fujian, and the generals have encountered a problem of how to repay their merits. If the situation of entering Fujian is truthfully reported, it will be difficult for the generals to receive major rewards. In order to get great success, under the instruction of Bolo and Tulai, the generals and colonels at all levels unified their voices and exaggerated the resistance of the puppet government of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so that the capture of Fujian became a great achievement. The source of the record in our dynasty document about the soldiers of the Eight Banners fighting hard to win Fujian is probably here. ”

Still no one spoke.

"It is precisely because they want to win great military merits that the generals of our army want to exaggerate their own merits, and they must erase Zheng Zhilong's achievements in welcoming the surrender. Otherwise, the master knew the truth that Zheng Zhilong withdrew the troops to clear the obstacles for the Great Cleanup, and he would have less credit for Bo Luo and the others. Therefore, no matter how Zheng Zhilong served the Qing army, he was already destined to have no haode reward, and could only be taken captive and go north! ”

Including Fu Lin, everyone could only remain silent.

Tuhai's arguments are so detailed and well-analyzed that they are almost impossible to refute. It should be said that history has been truly restored. However, how does Fulin take a stand? Restoring history to its original form? Cannot! The Si people are ancient, and Bolo is still his own elder prince! Even if you don't care about the face of the dead, now that Unai Weijing has announced the truth, it is to erase the war exploits of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, which is equivalent to cutting off your arm! A group of remnants of the former Ming Dynasty who have been slightly subdued will not miss such an eternal opportunity!

Shut one's ears? Tuhai made the truth public in front of a group of Hanchen, and he couldn't convince the public without expressing it......

Horizontal and vertical one dilemma!

Seeing that the emperor was silent and had been wondering about Tuhai's true intentions, Hongyi had an idea, and hurriedly said:

"Huang Ama, what Lord Tuhai said is true, it can be seen that King Tong'an's first merit in entering Fujian can be regarded as fixed. But why haven't he seen any self-justification for all these years? has the first merit and is not greedy, which shows his loyalty to the Lord! ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable! "Fulin saw the dawn of a smooth resolution of embarrassment.

"In this case, why doesn't the emperor follow the judgment of the appropriate talent, please Zhekune in the edict in three words and two words to clarify his merits of peace, do not need to pay attention to pen and ink, but to be sincere. Originally, he was asked to know the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and then mentioned the merits of entering Fujian back then, so that the Emperor Ama of the Natural Way of King Tong'an had already understood his great deeds back then, and how could he not be grateful to Dade in his heart? Based on this, Erchen speculated that he would be more supportive of the Qing Dynasty's maritime strategy! ”

Hongyi tried his best to figure out Tuhai's true intentions and gave some advice.

"Lord Belle is insightful, and the servant asks the emperor to comfort Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an!"

Tuhai suddenly orbited, please Holy Grace!

Hongyi suddenly realized! It turned out that Tuhai did not hesitate to offend a group of Manchurian generals, but in order to support himself, he reused the strategy of King Tong'an! This seems to be a big price, and it has come full circle!

However, this is how Hongyi can understand that Tuhai is really his own confidant!

Okay, Tuhai, I don't know how you were in the original history, but, in the prosperous era of Kangxi that I am about to open up, I, Emperor Kangxi, will remember your merits and intentions! (To be continued......)
