I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 44 The Plan Can't Keep Up With Changes

Zhu Yijiong was so shocked that he no longer cared about the majesty of the king. He stood up and stepped forward quickly, grabbing the document held high in the hand of the messenger.

At first glance, there are only a few numbers on the document: Zhangquan and Quanzhou have rebelled!

Seeing that Huang Dian and others who were not from Penghu rebelled, Zhu Yijiong breathed a sigh of relief and was a little confused at the same time: "Zhangquan and Quanzhou rebelled? How could they rebel..."

Zhu Yijiong said, handing the document to Wang Li and others who were already impatient to circulate.

Seeing the few numbers above, contrary to King Zhu's doubts, both the civil officials headed by Wang Li and the generals represented by Yang Gong had excited expressions.

Godsend opportunity!
Wang Li immediately bowed down and said: "Your Highness, the two states of Zhangzhou and Quan are now in rebellion. This is a God-given opportunity. The puppet Qing Dynasty has exhausted its power, and the enemy chief Kangxi is old. Today, the Ming Dynasty is taking advantage of the situation. ah!"

On the side, Yang Gong also said: "Yes, Supervisor, this opportunity cannot be missed!"

Seeing that there seemed to be doubts on Zhu Yijiong's face, Wang Li thought it was King Zhu who was retreating, and his heart suddenly tightened: "I have a word to supervise the country, if God doesn't take it, you will be blamed. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, we can march into the army." Fujian. By then, when the puppet Qing dynasty has quelled the chaos, it could be as short as one year or as late as three years, and our Ming Dynasty will be in disaster. I hope the supervisory country will think twice!"

"Please the supervisor, please think twice!" Yang Gong also knelt down and shouted.

"Supervise the country and think twice!"

The remaining people, including ministers and generals, all knelt down and shouted in unison.

Zhu Yijiong finally came to his senses after hearing what several people said, and realized that this was a misunderstanding among his ministers.

However, what Wang Li and Yang Gong said is not unreasonable. Zhangzhou and Quanzhou have always been important towns in southern Fujian and even Fujian.

If the two governments rebel, they will be destroyed in an instant. If the entire province of Fujian is not mobilized, or even if the entire province is mobilized, it may not be possible to suppress it.

Even if the suppression continues, it will empty out the entire finances of Fujian and turn these two governments into nothing.If King Zhu didn't take this opportunity to cross the sea and march into the army, I don't know whether God would blame him, but his ministers would definitely be discouraged, and the people's hearts that were not easy to unite would be dispersed.

After all, if you don’t even have the courage to do so, then why rebel?

Having made up his mind, Zhu Yijiong was not ambiguous and immediately issued an order: "Wang Qing, Liang Qing!"

"I'm here!" The two of them stood up quickly.

Zhu Yijiong said: "I have ordered you to immediately work with your officials to raise funds for the army to set out. As soon as the affairs are not urgent, all are postponed. You must collect all the food, grass and baggage needed for the army before setting off, without any mistakes!"

"Wei ministers accept the order!" Wang Li, Liang Wenxuan and others looked solemn and accepted the order with their hands raised.

"Where are Commander Yang, Deputy Commander Zheng, and Commander Xu!"

"I'm here!" The three of them took a step forward.

"Send the order and order all the troops in the first, second and third towns to assemble together with the fifth and sixth towns. Bring as many Taizu Tianlei and artillery and bird guns as you can. If you can't carry them, let the water go. The division sent them back and ordered the craftsmen in the army to start working day and night to make thunderbolts and musket armor for military use."

After Zhu Yijiong said this, he waved his hand: "I...want to conquer in person!"

"We obey the order!" Yang Gong and the others looked excited.

Wang Li took the lead in shouting: "Long live the Jianguo! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"Long live the Jianguo! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!" the crowd shouted.

At this time, Lai Chi was so excited that he couldn't help but ask: "King Zhu, I also want to kill Qing Gou with you, please bring me with you!"

Zhu Yijiong smiled and said: "General Lai, even if you don't tell me, I will take you with me."

"I... thank you, King Zhu!" Lai Chi just wanted to call himself "I", but was kicked by Zhang Yue.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I will come with you this time! You can also bring your subordinates with you."

"I obey the order!" Zhang Yue accepted the order with his hands raised.

Everyone in Zhangquan is against it. Such a good opportunity may only come once, so naturally all available power must be used.

As for the remaining troops in Zhuluo County in the north, hasn't he already left the fourth town behind?
And there are still soldiers here!

After the decree was issued, the civil servants and generals bowed and left, each carrying out his orders.

"After all, the plan can't keep up with the changes!"

……

September of the 60th year of Kangxi (the first year of Yonghe in the Ming Dynasty) was an eventful month.

Cewang Alabutan once again marched into Turpan, but was repulsed by the Alana Army, and there was concern that the war in the northwest would resume.

The Yellow River in the north bursts into the Qinshui River and spreads across the three provinces of Henan, Shandong and Zhili, displacing countless people.

Kangxi was forced to end his siege and return to Beijing early. On the one hand, he issued an edict to provide disaster relief as soon as possible. On the other hand, he appointed the deputy capital censor Niu Niu, minister Qi Sule, and Yuan Wai Lang Matai as imperial envoys. They left Beijing to build the Yellow River breach and divert Qin. Water enters the canal.

Just as the north was in chaos due to natural disasters and military disasters, Fujian, located in the south of the Yangtze River, was also in chaos.Since Kangxi did not give Lv Youlong any advantage, Lv Youlong had to submit a document to the Ministry of War requesting for the deployment of troops to suppress the bandits.

In order to prevent Taiwanese rebels from crossing the sea to attack Xiamen, Lu Youlong, an incorruptible governor who knew nothing about soldiers, came up with a bad idea, which was to mobilize all the troops in the province to Quanzhou to assist in defense.

In this way, even if the Taiwan rebels attack Xiamen, the army gathered here can quickly rush to their aid and drive the rebels into the sea again.

However, Lu Youlong ignored a problem, a huge problem.

That is, he mobilized troops from the entire province to defend Xiamen, but he never thought about whether there would be problems in other state capitals in Fujian.

Moreover, the mobilization of troops across the province requires a huge amount of money and food. If local governments are ordered to raise funds, how can local officials not line their own pockets?
Furthermore, the entire province's troops gathered in Quanzhou Prefecture. Before they even started to fight against the rebels, these officers and soldiers who were no different from bandits had already attacked Quanzhou.

Not to mention the local people, even Wang Daocheng, the prefect of Quanzhou, was tortured by these "bandits" officers and soldiers, and his own officers and soldiers were tortured.

Quanzhou is in dire straits, and other prefectures and counties are also having a hard time supplying the grain and fodder needed by Quanzhou's army.

The local government took advantage of the opportunity and exploited them vigorously. If it were normal times, they would be exploiting like this. Everyone would do it.

But now, the garrison troops in these prefectures and counties have been transferred away by the wise governor, and they have been transferred to harm Quanzhou.

Then, before anything happened in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou rebelled.

In August, in Zhangpu County along the coast of Zhangzhou Prefecture, a resident named Lin Jun couldn't bear the oppression of the government. He angrily raised banners such as "Qingtian Seizes the Country", "Reverse the Qing Dynasty and Revive the Ming Dynasty" and "General Lin", and gathered more than a thousand people to storm the county seat.

Zhangpu County, which was so empty due to Lu Youlong's manipulations, could not withstand it for even half an hour before the rioters broke through the city gate and the county magistrate was killed by the rioters on the spot.

Lin Jun, together with his old brother Chen Gouhuang and others, opened the county government warehouse and obtained several soldiers and countless grains.

Lin Jun led the rebels under his command to kill all the wealthy households in Zhangpu County, plundered their property, and soon took tens of thousands of people in the county hostage.

Known to the outside world as a hundred thousand troops, they began to move around. Unprepared, they successively annexed Dunzhao, Chihu, Duxun, and even Haicheng County, all of which were defeated by them.

The county magistrate of Haicheng hanged himself. The county magistrate took advantage of the chaos to escape and went to the capital city to report the news. Only then did the Zhangzhou magistrate Li Bingheng finally learn of the matter.

"This...where did Lin Jun, the leader of the thieves, come from?" Li Bingheng of the government office was shocked. The front foot of Zhangzhou Town had just been transferred to the neighboring government by the governor. It had only been less than a month and he had already ruled it. Some people killed officials and rebelled, and even broke through two counties and even rushed to Haicheng.

That is Xiamen's escape route. If the governor and the court find out about this, this official may not be able to save his life if he keeps silent about it.

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to ask the governor to send troops quickly to put down this beast!" The county magistrate who reported the news asked and asked.

Send troops, send troops, don't say that he has no troops to mobilize, the leader of the thieves, Lin Jun, claims to have 20 troops!

All right!After capturing several towns and Haicheng County in succession, this reputation was doubled.

He sent troops but could not, and Li Bingheng did not dare to ask for help. When he was in a dilemma, he treated Li Bingheng passively.Lin Jun, who was entrenched in Zhangpu Haicheng, was unwilling to be left alone and actually sent his troops directly north to attack Longxi County.

Longxi County is only more than twenty miles away from the capital of Zhangzhou. Seeing the fate of the rebels and subordinate county magistrates at such a close distance frightened the governor, who had never even killed a chicken, and he collapsed on the city wall on the spot.

In the end, he was carried back to the government office by the guards. However, after returning to the government office, Li Bingheng did not dare to have any luck again and hurriedly reported for help.

The Fujian officialdom was shocked, and the governor Lu Youlong was dumbfounded on the spot. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Lin Jun does not say that the foundation has been established, but he has also attracted hundreds of thousands of people.

Fujian Admiral Mu Tingshu responded the fastest. Since the transfer of other town troops required transfer orders, he only mobilized his subordinates to go to Zhangzhou for assistance.

Then, as expected, these supervisors had only the same combat power, and when faced with rebels a hundred times their own, they escaped on the spot without even fighting.

How much salary is there in a month? What a waste of life!
The rebellion in Zhangzhou was now extremely difficult to control. Wang Er, Xu San, Zhang Dezi and his party from Yongchun County in Quanzhou saw that the army was even more cowardly than ten years ago. They also heard that the Zhongxing Wang Company in Taiwan had destroyed the Qing army's Fujian Navy and Nan'ao Town. Coupled with the incident of Lin Jun in the neighboring government of Zhangzhou.

Immediately their confidence doubled, a group of people decided to make a bloody alliance, summoned all the brothers of the Tiandihui, and started an uprising against the Qing Dynasty in Yongchun County.

It was Lu Youlong's saucy operation. The entire Quanzhou was already pushed to the critical point, and even the slightest spark would explode.

What's more, the ones in Yongchun County were not from Wishongzi. Wang Er's group of rebels increased from hundreds to thousands in just one day.

Yongchun County was about to fall in half a day. Wang Er did not follow Lin Jun's coercion, but due to the evil done by the officers and soldiers before, countless Quanzhou people responded proactively.

The entire northeastern prefecture and county of Quanzhou almost collapsed at the first touch, and the rebel army grew rapidly like a snowball.

At this time, Lu Youlong, the governor of Fujian, realized that something was wrong. Admiral Mu Tingshu no longer bothered with the troop deployment documents and directly ordered his troops to suppress the bandits.

Lin Jun's rebel army and Wang's second army joined forces, and the two sides fought fiercely in Zhangquan and Quanzhou.

The report of rebellion in the two prefectures of Zhangzhou and Quan was rushed [-] miles to the capital, and was also sent to Penghu by Wu Wai, the "Na'ao Navy officer and soldier" who lived in Xiamen.
