The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Hongyu's idea was that since Li Guangyuan couldn't do a good job as a guard, he might as well be transferred out to serve as a chief officer and lead the army outside.

It can be regarded as a practice experience!
Coincidentally, Zhu Hongyu can also change the candidate for the head of the imperial guards!
Although Zhu Hongyu trusted Li Guangyuan a lot, no matter how much he trusted him, it was not a good thing for Li Guangyuan to be the chief officer of the imperial guards.

The imperial guards can only have one object of allegiance, and that is him, Zhu Hongyu!
For Zhu Hongyu to completely control the imperial guards, it is not enough to rotate the bottom-level soldiers and officers.

It is best for the chief officer of the army to change frequently!
As for who to replace, Zhu Hongyu already had a candidate in mind.

He Wenxiu, the former chief of staff of the imperial guards, is not bad!
Li Guangyuan was resigned from his position as the commander of the imperial guards, and he was terrified.

He was relieved when he heard that he was transferred to lead the army!

Full of gratitude to Zhu Hongyu, he accepted the order, and then withdrew.

Zhu Hongyu spoke to Zhou Tianxu again.

"Who is responsible for the assassination of Gu this time? Is there any clue?"

Zhou Tianxu said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the assassin hid a poison sac in his mouth, and after being captured, he directly bit the poison sac and committed suicide by taking the poison."

"However, the relevant personnel of the Jinyiwei traced the assassin's whereabouts, and found that the assassin was most likely sent by the Qinglu from the north."

Zhu Hongyu's face was dark, but he just nodded slightly, it could be seen that he was very dissatisfied.

"As the order continues, Jinyiwei will set up the Fusi Yamen in the South and North Towns."

"Zhou Tianxu is demoted to Commander of the Capital!"

"If you can't redeem your merits, you will be removed from office!"

Zhou Tianxu cupped his fists to accept the order, and then asked tentatively.

"Your Highness means, how will the general make atonement?"

Zhu Hongyu snorted coldly, looked to the north and said.

"Gu was assassinated by an assassin sent by the Qing court!"

"It's not rude to come and go. Jin Yiwei immediately prepares to use some of Jin Yiwei's hidden lines in the capital to start formulating an assassination plan against the puppet Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, or the Empress Dowager Bumbutai!"

"clear?"

"If the assassination is successful, you will be regarded as atonement!"

"The assassination failed. The Commander of Jinyiwei ordered you, Zhou Tianxu, to stop doing it and abdicate for the virtuous!"

Zhou Tianxu's expression froze, and he took the order to retreat.

Zhu Hongyu continued to lean on the couch, thinking about other things.

Zhu Hongyu was assassinated today, not only Li Guangyuan and Zhou Tianxu were punished.

The person in charge of the place he inspected, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were responsible for protecting his safety, many people were implicated.

It's just that most of those people are not qualified to be personally reprimanded by Zhu Hongyu.

Most of them are a transfer order, and they will be punished directly!

He should be removed from office, and he should be sent to prison.

Today's assassination made Zhu Hongyu see the lack of work of the Jinyiwei and the Guards Brigade.

He suddenly realized that just having a Jinyiwei in his hand didn't seem to be enough.

Well, it's time to mention Dongchang too!
Lord Dongchang can choose a smart and clever eunuch from among the eunuchs around him, and as for the following fan, he can transfer someone from Jinyiwei.

If he can set up both Dongchang and Jinyiwei, at least it will allow the two sides to compete and avoid a situation of dominance.

Everything is, if a family dominates for a long time, it is easy to drift away!
If you drift away, something will happen!
……

After Da Ming and Geng Jingzhong signed the relevant agreement, Geng Jingzhong didn't need to urge him, after Da Ming accepted Zhangzhou Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, Longyan Prefecture and other places.

Zheng Chenggong transferred troops from the senior staff, landed from Quanzhou, and went straight to Longyan Prefecture!

Then entered Fujian from Longyan Prefecture, forcing the Qing army in Jiangxi to retreat.

As for why not go to Tingzhou Prefecture, it is because the Jiangxi Qing army is now in Tingzhou Prefecture.

If Zheng Chenggong went directly to Tingzhou Mansion, he would have to confront the Qing army in Jiangxi.

Afraid is not afraid!
But it violated the original intention of the Ming army to try to control the scale of the war.

Instead of going head-to-head with the main forces of the Qing army in Tingzhou, it is better to enter Jiangxi from Longyan Prefecture and save the enemy.

Force the Qing army to return to aid!

In this way, at least the initiative of the war can be held in their own hands.

Instead of being led by the nose by the Qing army!
After Zheng Jun entered Jiangxi, he went straight to Ningdu Prefecture.

The local defenders in Ningdu Prefecture were vulnerable to the main force of the Zheng army.

For a while, Ningdu Prefecture was in a hurry!
The Jiangxi Qing army that entered Fujian received an urgent report from the rear, but reluctantly gave up the war in Fujian and began to return to aid Jiangxi.

It's not that the Jiangxi Qing army didn't know how much credit they would make if they conquered Fuzhou, and how much change they could bring to the battle situation.

Fuzhou is Geng Jingzhong's home and rear area. Once Fuzhou is destroyed, Geng Jingzhong will become a grasshopper after autumn, and he will not be able to jump for a few days.

But the problem is, they can't break through Fuzhou!
Although Geng Jingzhong was on the front line of Lishui, most of the Jingnan Army's elite was concentrated to fight against the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't want his hometown.

The Jingnan Army near Fuzhou City is also the elite of the Jingnan Army!

That is, the original Eight Banners soldiers, not the Jingnan Army reorganized from the Green Battalion soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides is naturally not the same!

After the Jiangxi Qing army broke through Tingzhou Mansion, they went to Fuzhou City and met the elite of the Jingnan Army.

After that, the battle situation has not progressed, and the fronts of the two sides are deadlocked in the area of ​​​​Yanping Mansion.

Now, the Ming army has entered the territory of Jiangxi, and Ningdu Prefecture is in a hurry.

The Qing army in Jiangxi was shocked!

What you need to know is that in this battle, most of the food and fodder needed by the Qing army in Jiangxi were stored in Ningdu Prefecture.

In other words, the Qing army's rear and grain roads in Jiangxi are now threatened.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable what choice these Qing troops will make.

……

With the withdrawal of the Jiangxi Qing army from Fujian, the pressure on Geng Jingzhong's rear was greatly reduced.

In just an instant, the troops on hand became more abundant!
Geng Jingzhong began to rotate his troops with those in the rear, and sent the Jingnan Army reorganized from the Green Battalion to the rear.

Concentrate elite troops on the front line and fight a big counterattack!

Now Geng Jingzhong didn't dare to extravagantly hope that he could take down the entire Jiangnan in one fell swoop. He only hoped that he could capture Jinhua and reach the front lines of Qujiang, Lanjiang and Fuchunjiang before the Qing army went south.

Then find a way to resist the attack of the Qing army over there!
Elite soldiers and horses continued to gather towards Lishui. Geng Jingzhong's cavalry, Chongbu, and the artillery team he bought with Daming were all gathering towards Lishui.

The number and quality of gunners under Geng Jingzhong's hands are not good!
While buying artillery from Daming, he also hired a large number of gunners to operate the artillery.

Use this to ensure that the Jingnan Army can overwhelm the Qing Army in terms of firepower!

……

At the same time, the cloud of war in Guilin City is getting thicker and thicker!

As the Ming army continued to advance towards Guilin, news of the fall of Zhou counties continued to spread to Guilin, and everyone in Guilin couldn't help but worry in their hearts.

Not because of anything else, but because the Ming army fought too smoothly and came too fast!

There are many lofty mountains in Guangxi, and there are even more dangerous passes!

However, under the powerful offensive of the Ming army, these lofty mountains and dangerous passes looked like paper.

Either look forward to surrender, or look vulnerable in front of the heavy artillery of the Ming army!
It can even be said that in this battle in Guangxi, the Ming army basically relied on shells all the way.

Use cannonballs to smash out personal aspirations, smash out a respondent scene, and smash out a biography.
