Sitting? Geng Jingzhong slapped the table with resentment, and his violent temper caused him to suffer a lot, not to mention that since Ao Bai had detained Shang Kexi, the Xiao Cavalry Camp would arrive sooner or later, how could he sit still and wait to die?

"Let's fight with the old thief, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the feudal soldiers of our two provinces together will not be able to resist the 30,000 cavalry battalion." Geng Jingzhong stalked his neck and blushed, trying to fight hard.

Although Shang Zhixin is younger than Geng Jingzhong, he is much more stable than Geng Jingzhong, he smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Wang, the 30,000 Xiao cavalry battalion is not to be feared, what we are afraid of is Ao Bai and the imperial court, once we face the battle, then it is tantamount to resisting the imperial court and declaring war on the imperial court, even if the Xiao cavalry battalion is defeated, there will be a firearms battalion, a Jianrui battalion, a forward battalion, and a Manmeng Eight Banners, and a green battalion in the six southeastern provinces, will we finish fighting?" ”

Geng Jingzhong said angrily: "Are we going to let others slaughter us?" Once we lose our domain, will you and I still have a way to live? ”

Shang Zhixin said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to worry. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, have you considered finding a foreign helper?" ”

Geng Jingzhong couldn't help but froze, and then came to his senses: "You mean Nanming on Qiongzhou Island?" ”

"Exactly." Shang Zhixin nodded.

Geng Jingzhong quieted down and slowly sat back in his chair, this is definitely a sensational suggestion, now that Fujian is in danger, he Geng Jingzhong has to think about it, after all, this is not a joke.

"Is the Ming army willing to surrender?" Geng Jingzhong raised his eyes and asked Shang Zhixin.

Shang Zhixin said confidently: "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, in fact, the younger brother has already gone to Qiongzhou half a month ago, and according to the younger brother, he is at least eighty percent sure." Shang Kexi told his father what he commanded and what he saw and heard in Qiongzhou.

Geng Jingzhong still seemed hesitant, once he took this step, he could never turn back, he knew in his heart that the current Ming army was still at a military disadvantage, so most of the surrendered Ming army of the two feudatories would accept it, and he would definitely make a show of grace to show the world for his monk's letter.

What he was worried about was the problem of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. His domain is in Fujian. There is not much confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. In the future, even if the two feudal domains surrendered to the Southern Ming. If you can't resist the Qing army. He Geng Jingzhong didn't end well.

"You see. If we descend to Nanming. What are the chances of the Ming army against the Qing army? ”

Shang Zhixin has seen the Ming army. First, Guangxi, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, bordered Guangdong. Second, the Qiongzhou Island Ground Naval Division often harassed the coastal areas of Guangdong. It does not indicate the combat power of the army on land and on the ground. Just saying that the water master of the Ming Dynasty is enough to dominate the world. No one can do it. At that time, the Jinxia Navy Division of the Zheng clan relied on hundreds of large and small warships to crisscross the southeast coast. The Qing army's strength in several provinces south of the Yangtze River could not wipe it out. But according to Shang's faith. Compared with the huge warships of the Ming Dynasty, the warships of the Jinxia Naval Division are simply the difference between big ships and bandi. Not at all on a notch. Not to mention once it is revealed. The benefits of Guangdong are the most. First, the other domain is close to Guangxi. It can echo with the Ming army. Second, they can get the help of the Ming army's sailors from Qiongzhou. Even if Ao Bai led the cavalry battalion to attack. He wasn't afraid.

"In my opinion. At least five or five. And the people of the world have been thinking about it for a long time. The Ming army had a better chance of winning. ”

Geng Jingzhong originally did not have much loyalty to the Manchus. Otherwise, in history, Wu Sangui would not have responded immediately when he heard Wu Sangui raise troops. At this time, I heard Shang Zhixin's analysis. At the moment, there will be a large number of soldiers coming at any time. I already have an idea. He suddenly got up and said, "That's the case." Let's bring light together. This slave Lao Tzu didn't want to do it for a long time. ”

"Good! Let's bring light together. Advance and retreat together. Shang Zhixin was overjoyed. looked at my father and was still detained in Hengyang. Now with Geng Jingzhong, he surrendered with him. I also have a bottom in my heart. In the land of the new first emperor, the capital is also quite sufficient.

"Brother Wang can return to Fujian as soon as possible, stabilize the military and politics, in case there is a test, as for the matter of surrendering, the younger brother will contact the Ming army, if Brother Wang sees that Guangzhou will raise troops to restore his sight, Brother Wang will echo in Fuzhou, and the current plan is to stabilize the feudal town first."

Geng Jingzhong nodded in agreement, he was not in Fuzhou for a day, he was really relieved, not to mention that he and Shang Zhixin were now grasshoppers on a rope, and Shang Zhixin would not stab himself in the back.

The two sped for a while, Shang Zhixin planned to return to Guangzhou before Geng Jingzhong, and then send a team of elite soldiers to escort Geng Jingzhong back to the domain.

Three days later, the two arrived in Guangzhou, Shang Zhixin invited Geng Jingzhong to enter the Zhennan Wangfu to the banquet, and then let people escort him back to the domain, Geng Jingzhong calculated that the Xiao cavalry camp of Ao Bai should not be so quick to go on the expedition, plus the rush of the days was indeed a saddle horse fatigue, so he and Shang Zhixin entered the city with a horse, just arrived at the door of the Zhennan Wangfu, there was a Shang Zhixin's henchman will look in front of the stone lion at the gate of the house, saw Shang Zhixin, immediately rushed over to hold the saddle for the prince, he waited in front of the house gate for two whole days, and did not even sleep, With red and swollen eyes, he winked at Shang Zhixin on the horse, and said in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, someone from the island has come." ”

"Coming so fast?" Shang Zhixin couldn't help but be flustered, hurriedly turned over and got off the horse, greeted Geng Jingzhong, and the three of them gathered in a corner next to a stone lion, Shang

The general: "Who is coming?"

"It's a brocade guard, he disguised himself as a merchant and said that he wanted to honor the prince like a baby, just when the prince was not there, he was afraid of attracting people's eyes, so he temporarily arranged him in a controlled house in Shiyangfang in the east of the city, looking forward to it day and night, waiting at the gate every day, just waiting for the prince to come back." The general was obviously very excited, and he thought that he had made a great contribution this time, and he had handled it very well.

Shang Zhixin nodded in approval and said: "Lao Chen, you have done a good job, and you will not be able to benefit from you at that time, you will lead the way in front, and let me go with His Royal Highness King Pingnan to meet the envoy." ”

Geng Jingzhong heard a few words on the side, and then he knew that Shang Kexi had already had contact with Nanming, and he pretended not to know and followed Shang Zhixin on the horse, and Shang Zhixin picked a few trustworthy personal soldiers to follow.

Along the way, Shang Zhixin and the others were silent, this time meeting the envoy decided their fate, although they had guessed that the new first emperor would accept the surrender, but they were still inevitably nervous.

A group of people finally stopped in front of a quiet house, in order to show respect for the messenger, the family general went in first to make an announcement, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong ordered to wait outside the door, and the two entered side by side.

The messenger has changed into Jinyiwei's fish suit Jinchun knife, the three of them greeted each other when they met, Shang Zhixin listened to the messenger's tone seemed to be quite warm, and he expected that the new first emperor must be a benevolent will, so he put down his heart, Jinyiwei spread out the holy decree under the gaze of the two, and the two bowed down together, Jinyiwei's voice was not loud, and he read it out with the holy decree, to the effect that Shang Kexi still inherited the prince as the king of Yue, and the son Shang Zhixin was the prince of Guangdong, so that the two were still in charge of the military and political affairs of Guangdong, and they were ready to start an incident. Later, he comforted the father and son, saying that their surrender to the Manchu Qing was also a helpless move, I can understand, I hope that after you return to the Ming Dynasty, you will be loyal and courageous, and contribute to the great cause of rejuvenation.

Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong got up together and explained to the messenger the changes that had occurred in Hengyang City, the old father was detained, Geng Jingzhong escaped, and he was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty.

The envoy is obviously not a fool, naturally he first asked Shang Zhixin to mourn the change, and then comforted Geng Jingzhong and waited for the grace, the court is like this to the Shang family, and it will not be bad for you Geng Jingzhong, stay in the next time to report, and your Geng Jingzhong's will naturally come down.

Shang Zhixin removed a big stone in his heart, Geng Jingzhong seemed to have found a little support, and the two hurriedly thanked him, and set up wine and food in the house to feast with the brocade guard.

…

In the capital, Shangshu Ke Saha of the Ministry of War received a secret letter, not only that, but all the Aobai party henchmen in the court had a copy, and none of them were left behind. In the early morning of the second day, the little emperor was in high spirits on the Luan chair, and now Ao Bai went out of Beijing, the soldiers and horses of Rehe have taken over the garrison of the nine gates, and the princes and generals outside the pass have also entered the customs and are about to arrive in Beijing, so that the four auxiliary ministers of the court, Suke Saha, were exiled to Ningguta, Obil Long was released to Shandong to control the water, and Ao Bai went to Hunan, leaving only a very obedient Sony, it can be said that although he Kangxi is only thirteen years old, he really grasped the power of the Qing Dynasty.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Xiao Kangxi majestically glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and said in a solemn voice in his immature voice: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

Everyone got up in a sparse manner, and the first person to stand up was the military department Shangshu Ke Saha: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a book to play." ”

Kangxi cheered up and hurriedly said, "Speak." ”

"When the grandfather entered the customs, he brought not only the elite eight banners of Mongolia, but also Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde and others from the dragon into the customs, the first emperor treated them very generously, distributed them in the provinces, and the children and grandchildren inherited the king, now Kong Youde is dead, there is no child under the knee to inherit, Wu Sangui is also defeated in northern Burma, died in another country, Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou two feudal towns have existed in name only, now, only Guangdong is still the king, Fujian Geng Jingzhong two.

”

Ke Saha paused here: "The first emperor treated the vassal king very well, but the minister heard some rumors. ”

"Oh?" Kangxi asked, "What kind of rumor is it?" ”

"It is rumored that these two vassal kings were arrogant and domineering in the feudal town, and they were even more yang and yin for the imperial court, when Nanming sent troops to Guangxi and Sichuan, Shang Kexi did not send a single soldier, and there were rumors that these two kings had bad intentions and wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty to vote for Nanming."

Ke Saha's words were like dropping a bomb in the Luan Palace, and the ministers in the palace whispered one after another.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up and said: "The minister has also heard some rumors, the two feudatories are just a small land, and the annual salary from the imperial court is two-third tenths of the treasury income. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As if promised in advance, nearly half of the people in the hall immediately stood up.
