The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

In Fuzhou City, Geng Jingzhong was sitting in the flower hall of Jingnan Palace, listening to the news reported by the people below, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

The fall of Guangzhou, news of Xinhui's defeat was still welcome, logically speaking, Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, should have died and hurt his kind.

After all, he and Shang Kexi are big traitors!

However, Geng Jingzhong couldn't feel sad at all.

On the contrary, it is a little gloating and eager to try!
Geng Jingzhong is ambitious and wants to wear a white hat for himself.

Only when the world is in chaos again, will he have the opportunity to wear a white hat for himself. Although he has complicated feelings about Guangdong affairs, in general, he still likes more than he likes.

Geng Jingzhong asked the counselor beside him with piercing eyes.

"Sir, the Supervisory Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty sent someone to deliver an imperial decree to this king, inviting me to raise troops and fight against the captives together!"

"Restore the clothes of my Han family, the Huaxia community!"

While speaking, he took out a roll of imperial decree made of bright yellow silk.

The imperial decree was spread out, and Geng Jingzhong's confidant counselor saw the content on it.

It's not so much an imperial decree to seal the king, it's more like a promise!
He promised that as long as Geng Jingzhong was willing to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, Daming would recognize him as King Jingnan.

The counselor pondered for a while, then followed Geng Jingzhong's intention and spoke.

"My lord, although the Qing Dynasty lost a game in Guangdong, its strength is still strong!"

"Even if the Qing Dynasty's heavy troops in the north, just Jiangnan, Fujian, Lianghu, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou's soldiers and horses are suppressed, there is absolutely no reason for the Ming thieves to be lucky."

"Although King Pingnan is strong, the strongest soldier in the Qing Dynasty in the south is King Pingxi!"

"For the sake of caution, the prince must not act rashly!"

Just from Geng Jingzhong's address to Zhu Hongyu, he was the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, not a thief of the Ming Dynasty, and the counselors knew what Geng Jingzhong meant.

There is a high probability that the heart is moved!

As a counselor, he naturally knew Geng Jingzhong's intention to wear a white hat, so he said immediately.

"The prince wants to make a big event, so he has to pick a good time!"

"Impatience is absolutely impossible!"

"Unless the Ming thief can win a few more big victories, otherwise, the subordinates do not recommend that the prince raise troops to respond!"

Geng Jingzhong nodded thoughtfully and said.

"Sir, what you said is right, now is indeed not a good time to raise an army!"

"But since Daming has given me such an imperial decree, it's not easy for me to use troops against Guangdong!"

"Send the order, mobilize the army and prepare to attack Jinmen!"

In order to be able to explain the past to his superiors, Geng Jingzhong ordered troops to be dispatched to Kinmen.

……

In fact, Zhu Hongyu gave out more than one copy of similar edicts.

He gave a share to Geng Jingzhong, a share to Wu Sangui, a share to the civil servants and senior officials of the Qing court in Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangnan, Guangxi and other places, and almost every leader and general had a share.

If it is said to be valuable, it must be valuable. No matter from what point of view, these imperial decrees are true, and they were all written and printed by Zhu Hongyu, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.

If these people choose to surrender to Daming in the future, this imperial decree will be their amulet and an important means for them to keep their official positions and wealth.

But if you say it's worthless, it's not worth it!

After all, rare things are expensive, no matter what it is, if there are too many things, it will be worthless!
In fact, the reason why Zhu Hongyu issued the imperial decree was because he did not think that with a single imperial decree, he could incite against the civil servants and generals of the Qing court.

This is unrealistic!

He just hopes that these people who have received the imperial edict will be able to "steal and play tricks" when they work for the Qing court in the future.

One person's cheating and cheating may not have much impact on the Qing court!
But what if all the officials in the south are consciously stealing and playing tricks?
That would have a huge impact!
Facts have proved that Zhu Hongyu's method is still useful.

No, after receiving Zhu Hongyu's imperial edict, Geng Jingzhong gave up the idea of ​​leading troops to counterattack Guangdong.

The military pressure that the Ming army had to face was significantly reduced a lot!

What's more, the imperial edicts issued by Zhu Hongyu even played a role in disrupting the officialdom of the Qing court.

Some Qing court officials took over the imperial decree, but kept it secret.

Some Qing court officials were loyal to the Manchus and chose to report to their superiors after receiving the imperial decree from the Ming Dynasty.

For a time, suspicion inevitably arose!
The upper official suspects that the lower official wants to vote for justice, and the lower official suspects that the upper official wants to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Everyone is suspicious of each other.

The administrative efficiency of the Qing court government has decreased visibly with the naked eye!

Originally, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places mobilized troops, and the efficiency of preparing food and grass to prepare for the counterattack against Guangdong slowed down significantly.

……

Zhu Hongyu summoned representatives of landlords and gentry in Guangdong in Guangzhou, because the inner city of Guangdong was almost burned to ruins.

Zhu Hongyu is going to meet the famous gentry of these places in the Ming army's central army tent!

The flags are flying, and the sound of practice is endless!

The sound of muskets and artillery firing came out from time to time!
A sentry cavalry formed a team to patrol around the camp, checking the people coming and going.

Around the entire camp, there are densely covered sentries and sentries, closely monitoring everything.

On the high watchtower, there are several soldiers holding binoculars to observe the outside world at any time.

As soon as the He family's convoy reached the outskirts of the camp, it was stopped by a group of patrolling Ming army sentry cavalry.

"Who is coming?!"

"Stop quickly! The front is an important military camp, trespassers will die!"

A majestic Ming army cavalry galloped in red armor, and stopped his horse in front of He's convoy.

Asked condescendingly.

The Patriarch of the He family poked his head out of the carriage, cupped his fists and said.

"My little brother, I am He Zhongda, the judge of Zhaoqing Prefecture, and I am here to invite local officials and me to Guangzhou for an audience with His Highness Jian Guo!"

"Brother Wanwang, let me know!"

The He family was a wealthy family in Zhaoqing. After the Ming army won the Xinhui Station, the He family contacted the landlords and gentry in and outside Zhaoqing to prepare to change their flag and return to the Ming Dynasty.

The former prefect of Zhaoqing pushed the boat smoothly to cooperate with the He family to act, and the banner with clear characters hanging on the top of Zhaoqing city became a banner with clear characters almost without encountering any obstacles.

Afterwards, Zhu Hongyu asked the former prefect of Zhaoqing to stay in his post in order to pay for his merits. Those greedy and notorious officials in the government were purged, and then the local landlords and gentry sent people to fill the vacancies.

In this way, the He family became the general judge of Zhaoqing Prefecture.

Therefore, when Zhu Hongyu wanted to summon the local officials in Guangzhou, the Patriarch of the He family brought his eldest son and ran over in a hurry.

The Sentinel of the Ming Army nodded slightly and said.

"Please wait a moment, I need to verify your identities before I can let you go!"

After all, he waved his hand to signal the subordinates behind him to go to the camp to verify the identity of the He family.

Since the Patriarch of the He family has been appointed as the general judge, there will definitely be records on Daming's side.

With a pair of records and official seals, things will probably not go wrong!
The eldest son of the Patriarch of the He family poked his head out of the car window on the other side and looked in the direction of the Ming army camp.
