Lord of Ming Dynasty

At this time, even those Qing generals who tried their best to prevent the escape had to look at the bloody head and feel that disaster was imminent, and they completely collapsed.

The pressure on Zhang Qiang's south gate suddenly eased a lot, and he hurriedly led his troops to other gates for support.

Feng Wuyu led the remaining more than 100 cavalry to chase down the deserters.

When the news spread from one city gate to several other city gates, the Qing soldiers were not thinking about attacking, but thinking about how to escape.

Jin Qi returned to the outside of the city with other cavalry, and chased and killed the escaped Qing soldiers around the city wall.

By the way, the enemy's artillery positions in other places were smashed.

The chase lasted all night, and when Zhang Qiang realized that his troops were too scattered, he quickly sent troops to chase after him, and only recovered [-] infantry and [-] cavalry the next night.

On the third day, the cavalry even rushed into Gutian County and almost captured Fan Shaozu. Fan Shaozu fled to Fuzhou Fucheng with less than a hundred confidantes.

At noon on the third day, He Jin led [-] troops to reinforce him. He had captured all the counties in the Chuzhou capital. At the same time, following the old road Zhang Qiang and the others had walked, he defeated all the counties recovered by Zhang Cunren.

This made Zhang Qiang's army no longer alone, which indicated that Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Force had already extended its tentacles to Wenzhou Prefecture, Jianning Prefecture, and Fuzhou Prefecture. , causing Wenzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture to be separated from the land and the Qing army in the north.

Since Fan Shaozu and Zhang Cunren mobilized most of the troops in Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Chuzhou, and Jianning, the troops in these places are empty, which is something anyone can think of.

So he left Tang Dianfeng to stay in Pingnan County, and turned back to attack Fuzhou Prefecture with [-] troops. Fuzhou Prefecture had the old foundation left by Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian and the favor he gave to the people of Fuzhou. Therefore, Zhang Qiang Almost without bloodshed, the entire territory of Fuzhou Prefecture was captured like an armed parade.

Taking down the entire territory of Fuzhou Prefecture, Zhang Qiang looked at Funing Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture sandwiched between Fuzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture on the map, and ordered He Jin to lead [-] troops to attack Funing Prefecture, fighting eastward, and then ordered Xuanyuan Longfei set off from Taizhou County, Taizhou Prefecture, led five thousand troops, cooperated with He Jin, and the two sides marched forward, regaining Funing Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture in less than half a month.

Now, the territory occupied now and Zhang Qiang's original Jinhua Rebel Army territory became one piece.

Emperor Longwu in Pingnan County learned that Zhang Qiang had regained Fuzhou Prefecture, and immediately asked Tang Dianfeng to send an army to escort him to Fuzhou Prefecture. On April [-], Emperor Longwu returned to Fuzhou Prefecture, Fucheng.

As soon as the banner was raised, the entire Fujian Province was like a boiling oil pot, boiling up, and the rebels who revolted against the Qing army came one after another, making Li Chengdong's troops who were chasing down the Ming army at the front line and fighting with Zheng Cai and Zheng Hongkui, and they were in a state of desperation. , Unable to resist, he retreated again and again, retreating to Yanping Mansion, and then retreating to Tingzhou Mansion, only to stabilize his position in Tingzhou Mansion.

And Zhang Qiang, who has already dispatched troops, has won the loyalty of most of the Ming army in Fuzhou Prefecture, and has taken over [-] captured squires from Zhang Qiang, Xiangyong, and the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army. The tiger's body shook.

He ordered Su Guansheng and He Kai to lead troops to attack Xinghua Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion, and Zhangzhou Mansion.

And Zhang Qiang obtained part of the troops again from He Jin who had already captured Wenzhou Mansion and Funing Prefecture. Eight thousand soldiers attacked Yanping Mansion, recovered Yanping Mansion, advanced all the way west, and fought a battle with Li Chengdong's defeated soldiers. After that, he captured Tingzhou Prefecture, then crossed Tingzhou Prefecture, and with the support of 1000 troops from Yang Yangyang, a total of [-] people attacked Ganzhou Prefecture.

Finally, it stopped at Ganzhou Mansion, because of a series of dumbfounding things, Emperor Shao Wu was born.

During the days of Zhu Yujian's disappearance, his younger brother, Zhu Yukai, king of the Tang Dynasty, established himself in Guangzhou by citing the ancient law of "brothers end up with younger brothers".

After he became self-reliant, he fought against the court of Yongli. Although Yongli had retreated to Wuzhou, the courts of both sides still attacked each other because of the uncertain orthodox relationship. At the same time, both sides had to deal with the attack of Qing soldiers.

As the Qing army was fighting and the Emperor Longwu disappeared, Li Chengdong in Fujian swept up the rebels and attacked the Ming army. Zhang Cunren, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, watched over the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, and actively dispatched troops to attack Zhang Qiang's Jinhua rebels, making Zhang Qiang , Longwu, and the others were all too busy dealing with these two people, and had no time to take care of other places, plus the delay in the delivery of news at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't know about it until today.

Perhaps this is inconsistent with history, but as a historical event, he still happened, and there have been some changes. For some reason, it may be the strong rise of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army, which attracted the siege of Li Chengdong and other main forces of the Qing army. The Shaowu court, which had only existed for [-] days, persisted for such a long time without falling down, while the Longwu court survived Zhang Qiang's desperate efforts to save it.

Depending on the situation, Longwu is also preparing to re-ascend in Fuzhou.

History, at least the history of the South, has become confusing.

Chapter 123 Long Wu Comes Back

End of April [-].

An astonishing news spread throughout the entire land of China.

The court of the Longwu Dynasty was as powerful as a broken bamboo, defeated the Qing army, recovered a part of Fujian Province, and most of Zhejiang Province. The Southern Ming forces have reunited.

There is Shaowu in Guangzhou. On the land of Guangdong, the Fucheng and Zhoucheng effective in the Yongli court are also effective in the Fucheng and Zhoucheng in the Shaowu court. Yongli stabilized his footsteps after fleeing from Wuzhou to Guilin.

Judging from the situation, Nanming actually had Yongli, Shaowu, Longwu, and the King of Lu on Zhedong Island, Lu Jianguo and other Nanming forces. Nanming still occupies half of the southern territory, and the Yongli Dynasty has the largest territory. , They have Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other places in the middle, although the Qing army still occupies a lot of places in the latter four places and is on the offensive.

But people with a discerning eye can see that this year, the Southern Ming Dynasty is gaining momentum. The Manchu and Qing Tartars have lost troops in the south, or they have been unable to attack for a long time, and they are already in decline. Depending on the situation, they are almost unable to attack again. , Desperately guarding, it is imperative for the Manchus to switch from offensive to defensive.

And all of this, only King Lu, Long Wu and others knew that the person or force that influenced Nanming to have such a good situation was Zhang Qiang, the Jinhua volunteer army that suddenly appeared.

From Ganzhou, Yanping Mansion, Jianning Mansion, to Quzhou Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, and Wenzhou Mansion, Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army is guarding them. They are like a great wall, blocking the Qing soldiers from outside. .

After several final decisive battles of tens of thousands of people, the Jinhua Rebel Army led by Zhang Qiang successfully drove out the Qing troops in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

Of course, Zhang Qiang did not attack Ningbo, Shaoxing and Hangzhou.

His Jinhua has already gone through a great battle and suffered heavy losses. Currently, he can only maintain such a front to protect himself and the Longwu court from the harassment of the Qing army.

On May [-], Zhu Dadian, who disappeared from Tingzhou Mansion, led two thousand volunteers to appear in Shaowu Mansion, and suddenly captured a part of Shaowu Mansion. In fact, there were not many Qing soldiers left in this place. Dadian picked up a big bargain.

On May [-], he went to Fuzhou Fucheng alone to meet Emperor Longwu, and was named Minister of the Ministry of War by Emperor Longwu.

On May [-]th, Emperor Longwu issued an edict that the emperor moved to the more prosperous Quanzhou Prefecture, and ordered Su Guansheng to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, He Kai to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Bingdeng to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and Jin Sheng to be the Minister of Officials. Shangshu, transferred from Jinhua Mansion to Quanzhou Mansion, accompanied Longwu around him, and was promoted from a local official to a Beijing official.

Of course, Zhang Qiang also received a reward. Emperor Longwu named him the Governor of Zhejiang Province, under the jurisdiction of Jinhua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, Chuzhou Mansion, Quzhou Mansion, Wenzhou Mansion, and the supervision of Jianning Mansion.

Wei Wuji is the admiral of Jinhua Mansion, Mi Chun is the prefect of Jinhua Mansion, Milin is the commander-in-chief of Jinhua Mansion, Yang Yangyang is the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinhua Mansion, Gu Yuesheng is the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinhua Mansion, Feng Wuyu is Jinhua Mansion General.

Zhou Porridge is the magistrate of Taizhou Prefecture, Du Ge is the commander-in-chief of Taizhou Prefecture, and Zhang Ying is the admiral of the Taizhou Prefecture Navy.

He Jin is the admiral of the Chuzhou capital, and Hu Kui is the commander-in-chief of the Chuzhou capital.

Xuanyuan Longfei is the chief soldier of Wenzhou Prefecture.

Tang Dianfeng was the admiral of Jianning Mansion, and Lin Yang became the deputy commander of Jianning Mansion.

General Ruan Jie was the general of Yanping Prefecture, general Zhang Tianlu was general of Fuzhou Prefecture, and general Liu Liangzuo was general of Quzhou Prefecture.

Xiao Fei is a general of Quanzhou Prefecture, stationed in Quanzhou Prefecture, protecting Emperor Longwu and other royal family members, and traveling in his place.

Because Xiao Fei chopped off Zhang Cunren's head and established the victory, Emperor Longwu was very grateful to him, and loved him very much, promoted him from a hundred households to a high position of general, and hoped that he could be stationed in Quanzhou Mansion , defend yourself.

But Xiao Fei still hoped to return to work under Zhang Qiang's account. Emperor Longwu found Zhang Qiang, and with Su Guansheng and He Kai, he finally persuaded Zhang Qiang with affection and reason, and Zhang Qiang did not want to die. After struggling hard for a while, the former officials of Daming who came to take refuge in him took all the credit for his merits. He had to find someone to watch Emperor Longwu.

Originally, he wanted to protect Emperor Longwu back to the Jinhua mansion, and coerce the emperor to order the princes, but how could Emperor Longwu, who had already experienced it once, be fooled?

When Zhang Qiang led his troops to attack those empty territories, Emperor Longwu first went to Fuzhou to ascend the throne, and then returned to the more prosperous Quanzhou Prefecture to establish his court.

However, Emperor Longwu's shrewdness cannot be guessed by ordinary people's thinking. Not only did he leave Zhang Qiang's army to guard the front line for him, he even made Zhang Qiang the governor of Zhejiang, and he did not go to Zhejiang where some of Zhang Qiang's confidants were stationed. Ming officials and Ming army generals were dispatched to the site, and the two sides silently followed some invisible rules.

And the shrewd Zhu Dadian did not make things difficult for Zhang Qiang. All the seized materials were selected by Zhang Qiang's army first, and the Ming army was not dispatched to Zhang Qiang's territory. Military pay in silver.

He Kai, as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also had a close relationship with Zhang Qiang, and as Zhang Qiang's original Jin Sheng, this official recommended some unknown but talented scholars to Zhang Qiang to work under his rule. He served as the magistrate and county magistrate, and maintained the normal operation of the local area for Zhang Qiang.

These are scholars who have never been in official positions, and they are very talented.

The war seemed to come to an end at this moment. The Qing soldiers were unable to attack Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and Zhang Qiang was also unable to sweep up the territories of the remaining provinces in Zhejiang, so he guarded most of his territory to rest and live a leisurely life.

If there is any unpleasant thing, it is that the captured Ruan Jie, the former general of the Ming army of the King of Lu, was reused by Emperor Longwu, who lacked generals, as the commander-in-chief of Funing Prefecture.
