The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 435 The Great Reading of Zhengyang Gate

Geng Jingzhong stood at the head of Fuzhou City, enjoying the harmony of mountains and tsunami, with a happy expression on his face.

Of course, what he enjoys is not just the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people.

It's the sweet taste of power.

As long as you have tasted it, no man will be willing to let it go!

The same is true for Geng Jingzhong!
Having enjoyed the taste of power, his ambition grew infinitely.

"The order!"

"Attack the army, attack the captives!"

"..."

Geng Jingzhong gave an order, and the Jingnan Army under him scattered in all directions.

Started to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qing army and began to attack the city.

Geng Jingzhong's influence in Fujian was fully revealed. Under the offensive of the Jingnan Army, most of Fujian quickly changed hands.

……

The news of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion against the Qing spread quickly as if he had grown wings.

The first to receive the news was not the officials of the Qing court in Jiangxi, Jiangnan and other places, nor Zhu Hongyu in Guangdong.

It was Zheng Chenggong who returned to Dayuan Island from Guangdong.

After receiving the news of the change in Fuzhou, Zheng Chenggong's first thought was to counterattack Fujian by himself, and the opportunity to recover Xiamen and other places came.

However, he immediately reacted!

This thing can't be done!

Now that there is an incident in Fuzhou, Geng Jingzhong has raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and Xiamen and other places will inevitably be empty of troops. This is a good time for him to counterattack.

However, it is a big taboo to deploy troops without orders!

Although he, Zheng Chenggong, is still regarded as a semi-independent warlord at present, but for future planning, he is already actively approaching the Ming court gradually.

The most typical proof is that Zheng Chenggong put his son beside Zhu Hongyu as a proton, and gradually gave up power to Zhu Hongyu.

He has already done so much, at this time, there is really no need to send troops without order to violate Zhu Hongyu's taboo.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong did not send troops to Xiamen immediately after receiving the news.

Instead, while the army was preparing for war, it sent a report to Guangzhou to invite the war.

……

At the same time, news of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion spread throughout the southern kingdom.

In just half a month, most of Fujian changed flags.

Jiangnan shakes, Jiangxi shakes, Huguang shakes!

The local governors and governors of the Qing court all panicked!

Ming thieves became big in Guangdong, and later defeated the imperial army in Jiangnan. Seeing that Ming is about to recover again, this is already quite a tricky thing.

Now that the imperial court's troops in the south are empty, if the Ming bandits take the opportunity to expand their territory, no one knows whether they can stop the attack of the Ming bandits!

However, the Qing Dynasty had the rule of beheading those who lost their cities and lands, which did not allow local officials like them not to worry.

Fortunately, after the battle of the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming thieves kept their troops on hold and did not mobilize troops against the local area.

But who would have thought that now that the Ming bandits they were worried about did not come, King Jingnan rebelled in the end! !

This thing is so perfect!

One after another, the news went to Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Huguang.

Geng Jingzhong raised his troops and caused an uproar in the local area!

On the one hand, it is the military pressure brought by the Jingnan Army, an elite soldier, to the Qing court!
The second is the huge influence of Geng Jingzhong's identity as King Jingnan!

The banner soldiers under Jingnan Prince's Mansion are not very strong in the Eight Banners system.

Compared with Wu Sangui's Guanning Army and the Qing Dynasty's Manchurian Eight Banners, there is a certain gap.

It's about the same level as the vassal soldiers of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, which is gratifying to the monk!
But even so, Geng Jingzhong's Jingnan Army is still a member of the Eight Banners no matter how poor it is.

The weakest Eight Banners, that is also the Eight Banners, isn't it?

In order to stabilize their rule, Manchu Qing has been boasting that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are invincible!
However, with the defeat in the Battle of Jiangnan, the Eight Banners of Jiangning were wiped out.

Now, in the entire southeast corner, the only Eight Banners is the vassal soldiers of Jingnan Prince's Mansion held by Geng Jingzhong.

But the result?

Geng Jingzhong rebelled, announced that he would leave the Qing Dynasty, and went it alone!
Is this still great? !
The invincible Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers are on the opposite side...

It's just killing me!
In the entire southeast, apart from Zhu Hongyu, who killed the Pingnan Wang Fanxia and the Jiangning Eight Banners, adding up to tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, who would not be afraid? !

Of course, what is more important is Geng Jingzhong's identity.

King Jingnan, one of the three great feudal lords of the Qing Dynasty, has rebelled. Isn't my Qing Dynasty a pill? !

The local officials are trying their best to prepare for the war, ordering the green battalion to prepare for the war, and recruiting the local militia.

Moreover, letter after letter was continuously sent to the capital.

……

The capital, outside the Zhengyang Gate!
A dense mass of people stood in an array, the array was neat and murderous.

You can't see the side at a glance!
The cavalry galloped and roared in the wilderness outside the city, their tall helmets were extremely eye-catching.

collapse!Bumble!

The sound of the bowstring vibrating continued one after another.

The cavalry roared past, waving their spears and swords, full of deterrence.

Now the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing court seldom go to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness has declined sharply.

But it's just that they have seen less blood and lack battlefield experience. They can still keep up in training.

Their performance on the battlefield may not be satisfactory, but if they are just put on the training ground, pretending to scare people, it will be fine!
The current Mongolian cavalry team is galloping on the school grounds, and they still have the demeanor of the Manchurian cavalry.

Countless cavalry came roaring in, converging and dispersing, and there was no delay in changing the array.

A burst of arrows flew, and the scarecrow that was the target was scattered with grass clippings.

Even, the Qing court launched several cannons.

Between the roar of gunfire, gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Cannonballs, large or small, shot towards the human-shaped wooden target.

Click!Click!Click!

In just an instant, those human-shaped wooden targets were pierced by countless shells, sweeping across a large area.

What is worthy of recognition is that the learning ability of the current Qing army is still very strong.

Faced with the artillery superiority of the Ming army on the battlefield, the Qing army also figured out some ways.

One is the large-caliber heavy artillery, which is used to suppress firepower!

The second is small-caliber field artillery, used to support infantry firepower!
The first is the research and development of large-caliber heavy artillery. Needless to say, it is nothing more than making artillery thicker and larger.

This is the way of thinking of the famous red-clothed cannon!

As for the small-caliber field artillery, the Qing army fully imitated the Guangfu-[-] and Guangfu-[-] field artillery of the Guangfu Army.

That is, the six-pound and twelve-pound Napoleon cannon field guns!
Although due to the gap in casting technology and materials, the field guns cast by the Qing army are inferior to those of the Ming army in terms of weight and range.

But the Qing army's artillery research and development ideas, generally speaking, are no problem!

……

Bumbutai stood at the head of the capital, with a golden umbrella behind him and a full set of guards of honor for the empress dowager.

Looking at the performance outside the city, Bumbutai's old face was full of smiles.

"From the perspective of the mourning family, my Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are as powerful as they were back then!"

Aobai and the others agreed, but their hearts were full of worries.

The old lady Bumubutai has never been on a battlefield in her life, and she has seen fighting in battle.

Looking at those appearances outside the city, I can't tell whether they are good or bad, I just feel mighty.

I just think my Qing Dynasty is in order!
But Oboi and others are different, they are all veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years.

The quality of an army can be seen at a glance.

The Eight Banners soldiers performing martial arts outside the city did a pretty good job, but they lacked a bit of aggressiveness.

Typical look!
