Geng Jingzhong stood at the top of Fuzhou City, enjoying the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, with a happy expression on his face.
Of course, what he enjoyed was not just the feeling of being surrounded by people.
But the sweet taste of power.
Once you have tasted it, no man will be able to put it down!
The same is true for Geng Jingzhong!
Enjoying the delicious taste of power, his ambition grew infinitely.
"Send the order!"
"The army attacks and captures the prisoners!"
"..."
Geng Jingzhong gave an order, and the Jingnan troops under his command dispersed.
He began to take advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness to attack cities and seize territory.
Geng Jingzhong's influence in Fujian was fully demonstrated. Under the offensive of the Jingnan Army, most of Fujian quickly changed hands.
…
The news that Geng Jingzhong had launched an army to resist the Qing Dynasty spread quickly as if it had wings.
The first to receive the news were not the Qing court officials in Jiangxi, Jiangnan and other places, nor Zhu Hongyu in Guangdong.
But it was Zheng Chenggong who returned to Damuan Island from Guangdong.
After receiving the news of the changes in Fuzhou, Zheng Chenggong's first thought was to counterattack Fujian and regain the opportunity to regain Xiamen and other places.
But, he reacted immediately!
You can't do this!
Now that Fuzhou is in turmoil and Geng Jingzhong has launched an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Xiamen and other places will inevitably be depleted of troops, which is a good time for him to counterattack.
However, it is a taboo to mobilize troops without orders!
Although Zheng Chenggong is still considered a semi-independent warlord at present, for future plans, he is already actively and gradually getting closer to the Ming court.
The most typical proof is that Zheng Chenggong placed his son next to 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 mobilize troops without orders and violate Zhu Hongyu's taboo.
Therefore, Zheng Chenggong did not immediately send troops to Xiamen after receiving the news.
Instead, while reorganizing the army and preparing for war, he sent a report to Guangzhou calling for war.
…
At the same time, news of Geng Jingzhong's revolt spread throughout the Southern Kingdom.
It only took half a month to change most of Fujian's flags.
Jiangnan is shaking, Jiangxi is shaking, Huguang is shaking!
All the local governors and governors in the Qing court were in panic!
The Ming thieves became big in Guangdong, and later defeated the imperial army in Jiangnan. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to rise again, this was already a very difficult matter.
Now that the imperial court's troops in the south are empty, if the Ming thieves take the opportunity to expand their territory, no one is sure whether they can withstand the Ming thieves' offensive!
However, the Qing Dynasty had a rule of beheading those who lost cities and lands, which did not allow local officials like them to worry.
Fortunately, the Ming thieves remained stationary after the battle in the south of the Yangtze River and did not attack local areas.
But who would have thought that the Ming rebels they were worried about did not come, and the King of Jingnan rebelled!
This thing is so messed up!
One after another news went to Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Huguang.
Geng Jingzhong raised troops and caused an uproar in the local area!
On the one hand, it is the military pressure brought by the elite soldiers of the Jingnan Army to the Qing court!
The second is the huge influence of Geng Jingzhong’s identity as King Jingnan!
The flag soldiers under the Jingnan Prince's Mansion are not very strong in the Eight Banners system.
Compared with Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army and the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, there was a certain gap.
They are almost on the same level as the vassal soldiers of Pingnan Prince's Mansion!
But even so, no matter how bad Geng Jingzhong's Jingnan Army is, they are still members of the Eight Banners.
The weakest Eight Banners, it is also the Eight Banners, right?
In order to stabilize their rule, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been boasting that the Eight Banners are invincible!
However, with the defeat in the Battle of Jiangnan, the Eight Banners of Jiangning were completely wiped out.
Now, in the entire southeast corner, the only Eight Banners are the vassal soldiers of the Prince of Jingnan in the hands of Geng Jingzhong.
But what’s the result?
Geng Jingzhong rebelled and announced that he would break away from the Qing Dynasty and go it alone!
How awesome is this?!
The invincible Eight Banners heavenly soldiers are on the opposite side...
It’s literally killing me!
In the entire southeast, except for Zhu Hongyu, a fierce man who killed Pingnan Wang's subordinates and Jiangning Eight Banners, with a total of tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, who can not be afraid?!
Of course, what is more important is Geng Jingzhong’s identity.
King Jingnan, one of the three major vassal kings of the Qing Dynasty, rebelled. Isn’t the Qing Dynasty a pill?!
All local officials are trying every means to prepare for the war, ordering green battalions to prepare for war, and recruiting local militia groups.
Moreover, letters and letters were continuously sent to the capital.
…
Beijing, outside Zhengyang Gate!
A dark mass of people and horses stood in formation, with a strict formation and murderous intent.
You can't see anywhere at a glance!
The cavalry galloped and roared in the wilderness outside the city, and their tall helmets and tassels were extremely eye-catching.
Collapse! Collapse!
The sound of bow strings trembling one after another continued.
The cavalry roared past, waving their spears and swords, which was full of intimidation.
Nowadays, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and Manchu and Mongolia rarely go to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness has declined sharply.
But it's just that they saw less blood and lacked battlefield experience, so they can still keep up in terms of training.
Their performance on the battlefield may not be satisfactory, but if they are just allowed to show off and scare others on the training field, it will still be fine!
Nowadays, when the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry gallop on the school field, they still have a bit of the style of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.
Countless cavalry roared in, gathering and dispersing in an instant, and there was no lag in the array changes.
A shower of arrows flew, scattering grass clippings from the target scarecrow.
The Qing government even introduced several cannons.
Amid the roar of cannons, smoke filled the air.
Cannonballs, large or small, were fired at the human-shaped wooden target.
Click! Click! Click!
In just an instant, those human-shaped wooden targets were pierced by countless cannonballs, sweeping across a large area.
What is worthy of recognition is that the current Qing army's learning ability is still very strong.
Faced with the Ming army's artillery superiority on the battlefield, the Qing army also figured out some tricks.
One is large-caliber heavy artillery, used for fire suppression!
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, this is nothing more than making the artillery thicker and larger.
The famous red cannon has this idea!
As for the small-caliber field artillery, the Qing army completely imitated the Guangfu Type 1 and Guangfu Type 2 field guns of the Liberation Army.
That is, the six-pound and twelve-pound Napoleon field guns!
Although due to differences in casting technology and materials, the field guns cast by the Qing army were inferior to those of the Ming army in terms of weight and range.
But generally speaking, the Qing army’s artillery research and development ideas are okay!
…
Bu Mu Butai stood at the top of the capital city, holding a golden umbrella behind him and a full set of honor guards of the Queen Mother.
Looking at the performance outside the city, Bumbutai's old face was full of smiles.
"Looking at the Aijia, our Qing heavenly troops are still as powerful as before!"
Oboi and others spoke in agreement, but their hearts were full of worries.
Old lady Bumubutai had never been on a battlefield in her life and had seen fighting in battle.
Looking at those looks outside the city, I can't tell whether they are good or bad, I just feel they are mighty.
I just feel that my empire in the Qing Dynasty is secure!
But Obai and others are different. They are all veterans who have been fighting 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 good job, but they just lacked a little bit of murderous spirit.
Typical look!
