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

Chapter 49: Take full control of Jinsha
"Snapped!"

Zhu Yijiong, who was wearing a red dragon robe, slapped the gavel on the table and asked in a dignified voice: "Okay, I want to ask you, what are your names? What are your official positions?"

"Report to the King..."

Liu Zhigang spoke, and Yang Gong, who was standing by his side with his hand on the hilt of the knife, immediately roared: "Stop, this is my Highness the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah, yes, yes, I report back to His Highness, the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, that the criminal general Liu Zhi is a small boss in Xiamen, Quanzhou. The criminal general is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and he is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Zhi kowtowed repeatedly as he spoke, A moment of expression.

Nonsense, if you don't want to surrender, you will be gone. Liu Zhi is a smart man, and he is also a smart man who is greedy for money. For him, why should he die if he can live?
How much money is paid out by the imperial court in a month? Why are you selling your life?
When Xue Yuanhui heard this, he originally wanted to put on a show and ridicule the rebel king in front of him. However, Wu Wai behind him snorted coldly, and his true colors were instantly revealed.

The decisive thing is to kowtow and kneel down and say: "The guilty minister Xue Yuanhui is a fellow magistrate of Xiamen in Xiamen. I have met... His Highness the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Oh? Are you a fellow magistrate of Xiamen Defense?"

When Zhu Yijiong heard the word "tongzhi", he immediately understood that this was a high-ranking official, and then asked: "Well, now I ask you, do you know why the defense forces in Jinxia and Xiamen are so weak? All the Qing soldiers in Xiamen have arrived Where did it go?"

Xue Yuan looked confused and was wondering whether he should say it or not.

But Liu Zhi rushed to speak: "Your Highness, the prisoner, the guilty will know, the guilty will know what is going on?"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhi directly explained why Xiamen had so few garrison troops, as well as the causes and consequences, and even the rebel forces in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.As long as you know it, no matter whether you should say it or not, it's all sold out.

After hearing Liu Zhi's answer, Zhu Yijiong, Yang Gong and other Ming army generals present realized that it was no wonder that regardless of Jinxia, ​​the two important towns in Taihuan had almost no defense strength.

It turned out that it was really because of the rebels in Zhangquan and Quanzhou... No, it should be said that they were rebels. After all, they were fighting under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the Quanzhou Rebels are actually members of the Yongchun Local Association. They will call Zhang Yue later and ask if they can cooperate.

"In other words, except for Xiamen, the whole of Fujian is very empty now?" Zhu Yijiong thought for a moment and asked again.

"Reporting back to the Supervisor, it is just like this. The entire Fujian army was brought to Quanzhou City by the Admiral... er, it was Mu Ting, Qinggu's Dog Admiral. It is estimated that they are still encircling and suppressing the big rebel Lin Jun. Here!" Liu Zhi quickly answered, looking eager to show off.

Zhu Yijiong turned around and glanced at Wu Wai. Wu Wai took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am about to report this to your Majesty. Moreover, it seems that Lin Jun is no longer in Quanzhou Prefecture at this moment, but has gone north to Xinghua." ."

"Going north to Xinghua?" Everyone present, including Yang Gong, Zheng Dingrui and others, were shocked when they heard this.

On the surface, Xinghua Prefecture is just an ordinary coastal state capital in Fujian, but it is a barrier to Fuzhou. Lin Jun actually broke out of the Qing army's encirclement and suppression in Quanzhou and went to Xinghua?
Then what he is going to do next, almost any fool can figure it out.It’s nothing more than heading north to Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian!
Otherwise, why didn't Lin Jun go back to Zhangzhou, the place where he started, after breaking through, and instead went to Xinghua, a place he was unfamiliar with?

Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian, and the governor's office of Fujian, the Eight Banners garrison, and even the governor's office of Fujian and Zhejiang, which was dismissed not long ago, are all here.

If Fuzhou makes a mistake, why should Fujian just go into chaos?

As long as this news is true, you don't need to think about it to know that the Qing army will definitely go north to rescue Xinghua, and there will be no time to return to Xiamen.

"Brother Wu, uh, General Wu, where did you get this information? Why didn't you know?" Liu Zhi came to his senses and asked quickly.

After all, he really didn't know about this matter. There was no news from Fucheng. His current information was stuck on the fact that the admiral led his troops north to Quanzhou Prefecture, and that Lin Jun's rebels had penetrated deep into Quanzhou.

In fact, not only him, but also Fujian Governor Lu Youlong had just learned that Fujian Admiral Mu Tingzha had died of illness in Quanzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, I am worried about the impulsiveness ahead of me, and an order was issued to transfer the army to Xinghua Prefecture to intercept the rebels!

"..." Wu Wai didn't say anything more, just remained silent.

When Liu Zhi saw him, he immediately felt that the rebel surnamed Wu, who had bribed him with a banknote, was becoming more and more unpredictable.

In fact, there is nothing mysterious about it. It's just Wu Waiduoduo's contact with the horse racing vendors who came from Quanzhou Prefecture.

Through inquiring from three religions and nine schools, I got this information.

Although the news from these horse racing traders is often exaggerated and untrue, the general direction is never wrong.

Even at this time, the Japanese country had a specialized agency responsible for inquiring about merchant ships in China to obtain Chinese intelligence.Although they were far apart, they received news of King Zhu's rebellion almost at the same time as the Qing Dynasty.

However, no matter what, now that they know that the whole of Fujian is empty, and that Lin Jun's troops are heading north to Xinghua, there is a high probability that the Qing army, no, will definitely follow.

Zhu Yijiong made a decisive decision: "Where are Yang Gong, Xu Jin, and Liu Guoji?" "I am here!" The three of them hurriedly handed over their hands and came out.

"I order the three of you to send troops immediately to capture Tong'an, Shixun, and Guankou without any mistakes!" Zhu Yijiong gave the order directly without any delay.

Of course, out of caution and because there was not much time left today, Zhu Yijiong decided to first take Tong'an County near Xiamen and connect these areas together, and then proceed slowly.

After receiving the order, the three of them left the Yamen lobby without hesitation and went down to summon the generals.In order to quickly break through the city and reduce casualties, they directly led their men to change into the clothes of the more than 2000 Qing troops they had captured before. Yang Gong even brought the captured Kinmen Town deputy general Zhang Qing with him.

The three of them acted separately. Liu Guoji led 500 people to Guankou Town, Xu Jin also led 500 people to Shixun Town, and Yang Gong led a thousand soldiers to Tong'an County.

Since Fujian is empty, there is no need for too many troops.

When Yang Gong took Zhang Qing hostage and led his Ming army to Tong'an County, he was discovered by several gatekeepers at the gate before he could get close to the city gate.

However, when these people saw that Yang Gong and the others were wearing Qing army uniforms, they thought they were friendly troops from Xiamen and did not pay too much attention.

After paying attention for a moment, I saw these gatekeepers standing straight and straight, welcoming Yang Gong and others into the city without looking back.

At the same time, a person was sent to inform the magistrate that an army had entered the city.

Yang Gong and his generals quickly entered the city. At the gate of the city, people lined the streets to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Yang Gong suddenly shouted: "Do it!"

Several "Qing soldiers" who passed by the city gate suddenly drew their swords and slashed at the upright gatekeepers standing on both sides.

In a few strokes, all the soldiers guarding the gate were killed, and the "Qing soldiers" behind them filed in immediately.

When the nearby people who were watching the excitement saw the killing, they were so frightened that they ran away in all directions. They threw away all the vegetable baskets in their hands. The same happened to the street vendors. They didn't even care about their stalls and all disappeared.

Yang Gong ignored the frightened people. After leaving a battalion to guard the city gate, he led a large force directly to the county government office, preparing to capture the county magistrate alive.

Because he launched the attack too quickly, the county magistrate had just learned that a Qing army had arrived in Tong'an County, and was about to go out to greet them, and asked what happened.

After taking it, just as they arrived at the gate of the county government office, they saw a large wave of Qing soldiers, led by a general-looking man, directly breaking into the county government office.

The county magistrate was immediately displeased, but did not get angry immediately. He just cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I am the magistrate of Tong'an County, Liu Xiangtai. I don't know what the general's name is, why he came to Tong'an County?"

"Liu County Magistrate, right? This town is the commander of the second town of the Ming Dynasty's New Army, Yang Gong. You are polite here." Yang Gong, who was rarely in a bad taste, returned the greeting with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Oh, it turns out to be Commander Yang. I've admired him for a long time..." Before Liu Xiangtai could finish his words, he immediately realized, Daming?Rebel!
Before he could make any move, Yang Gong drew his knife and put it on Liu Xiangtai's neck: "County Magistrate Liu, congratulations, you are now the magistrate of Tong'an County in Ming Dynasty!"

In the same situation as Tong'an County, there are Shixun Town and Guankou Town. These two are just small towns. They are not prepared at all for the intrusion of the Ming army. Even if they are prepared, they are unable to resist.

Xu Jin and Liu Guoji, with almost the speed of their front and rear feet, took down the two towns of Shi Xun Guankou at the speed of light.

At this point, Tong'an, Guankou, Shixun, and Jinxia islands are connected together.

The entire Jinxia defense line fell into Ming's hands almost easily.

Originally, Xu Jin also suggested that he should go further west to capture Haicheng County. He could not only defend the rear of Xiamen, but also go north to attack Zhangzhou Prefecture, and even recapture Changtai County, the hometown of the prison state.

However, this suggestion was directly rejected by Zhu Yijiong and Yang Gong. There was no way, what Ming Dynasty wanted now was rapid development.

Indeed, taking advantage of the current emptiness in Fujian, it is indeed possible to quickly capture Haicheng County, and even further, Zhangzhou Prefecture is not impossible.

But so what if I get beaten?

The entire Zhangzhou Prefecture, except for the city, was harmed by Lin Jun. The population and economy had long been destroyed by Lin Jun's rebels.

Even if Ming Dynasty defeats Zhangzhou now, it will be in a mess and cannot quickly gain combat power.

On the contrary, Quanzhou Prefecture did not suffer huge damage and could be used as an outpost for the first step.

　There is also Ma Xiang Hall, which was only established by Qianlong.
