The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 436 The Governor of the Five Provinces

It looks good now, but it's really hard to say how it will perform on the battlefield.

Is it rebirth from blood and restore the glory of the Eight Banners?
Or will it collapse in the first battle and lose all the face of the Eight Banners?

No one can say for sure about this!

Hong Chengchou on the side also spoke.

"Enough is enough, this is enough!"

"The Eight Banners are mainly on the battlefield to supervise the battle. The frontal battle still depends on the green battalion soldiers."

Hong Chengchou also saw the nature of the Eight Banners soldiers.

But he thinks this is enough!
Anyway, the Eight Banners are also supervising the battle when they are on the battlefield, as long as they look mighty.

As for real combat power, that doesn't matter!
If one side wins, the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers must be invincible.

The Green Battalion soldiers dare not take credit with the Eight Banners master!

If one's own side was defeated and the green battalion collapsed, Hong Chengchou would only flee with the Eight Banners soldiers to minimize casualties, and would not expect the Eight Banners soldiers to save the battle.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was wearing an official robe, with a crane embroidered on the patch on his chest.

The red crown on the top of the head is also unusually eye-catching.

It was as if it was stained red with blood!
Today's Hong Chengchou was appointed by the Qing court as the governor of the five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Fujian, and is fully responsible for the war in the southern country.

It can be said to be in high spirits!
Once the power was in his hands, Hong Chengchou, who was originally looking old and feeble, also regained some of his brilliance.

I have to admit that for men, power is the best tonic!

But it's only a bit of recovery, his figure is still thin, there is no flesh on his cheeks, and his eyes are cloudy and dull.

The condition is much better than before, but not much better.

"Hong Qing's family, the Ai family is full of expectations for you this time!"

"The Qing family is determined to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and it is up to us to exalt the power of the Qing Dynasty!"

With a gentle smile on his face, Bumbutai said to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou nodded and said.

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, I will live up to my expectations!"

However, although Hong Chengchou said so, his heart was full of worries.

That day, after he left the palace, he realized that he had committed a taboo.

In the next few days, we will try our best to make up for it, but even though Bumbutai and the others say they are fine on the surface, they don't care.

But whether they cared about something in their hearts, whether they would settle accounts with him, Hong Chengchou also had no idea.

All he can do now is to work hard to put down the chaos in Guangdong for the Qing Dynasty, and strive to atone for his crimes.

As for other ideas?
For example, support the soldiers to be self-respecting, or simply rebel against the Qing Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty, and go back and continue to serve the old club Daming, etc.

Hong Chengchou didn't even think about it!

What about trouble? !
Of course, the willingness is not because of Lao Hong's loyalty to Man Qing.

He was able to betray Da Ming before, and now he can betray Da Qing.

He has already broken through his moral bottom line once, and if he breaks through again, is it a big problem?
of course not!

The reason why Hong Chengchou had no intention of betraying the Qing Dynasty was because his entire Hong family settled in the capital!
If he, Old Hong, dared to betray Daqing, his whole family would probably have to be dragged to the execution ground.

Now that Hong Chengchou is at his age, he has enjoyed the glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and there are not many things he cares about.

The only thing he cares about now is his family and descendants. No matter what he does now, the most fundamental purpose is not for himself.

It can even be said that Hong Chengchou doesn't care about his own life anymore!

The reason why he took over the task of the Qing court's southern expedition was more for his own descendants.

Bumbutai nodded in satisfaction, Aobai and the others also opened their mouths to see Hong Chengchou off one after another, wishing Hong Chengchou a victory and destroying the anti-Ming rebels in Guangdong.

After the martial arts performance outside the city was over, the Qing army who was about to march south yelled in unison, and their morale was boiling.

"Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

"Eight Banners are invincible!"

"Destroy Ming and Rebellion!"

"The world is peaceful!"

"..."

Hong Chengchou took the tiger talisman from Bumbutai and strode down the city wall.

Under the city wall, there is already a large sedan chair with eight carriages parked.

And Hong Chengchou's various guards of honor for the governors of the five provinces!
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed to the end of the line of sight.

The leading knight has a small flag on his back to represent his identity—a fast horse responsible for delivering urgent news for eight hundred miles.

Looking at the fast horse galloping in the distance, Bumbutai frowned unconsciously.

What happened again?

is good news?

Or bad news?

She was really hit by the series of bad news before.

Seeing the fast horse galloping eight hundred miles away, I couldn't help frowning.

"Oboi, go and ask what's going on, and where did you get the urgent news from [-] li."

Although Bumbutai was worried in his heart, the queen mother still put on her airs, and she looked very graceful and luxurious.

Even if she is old, at a glance, she is still a very temperamental old lady.

"twitter!"

Aobai clapped his horseshoe sleeves, responded with a chirp, turned around and walked down the city wall.

Obai's health is much better than Hong Chengchou's, the two started to go down the city one after the other, but they arrived at the gate of the city at about the same time.

Hong Chengchou didn't leave in a hurry, but stood with Aobai, wanting to find out what happened.

Why is there another [-]-mile rush!
Bumbutai was not the only one who had a stressful response to the [-]-mile rush.

Even Hong Chengchou has some psychological shadows!

Because, since last year, there has been no good news for the [-]-mile express that Jingshi received.

First, two thousand Manchurian Eight Banners were wiped out in Mengla by Li Dingguo!
Then Pingnan Wang Xinhui was defeated, Pingnan Wangfan's banner troops were wiped out, and Guangdong changed hands.

Then, there was a more exciting battle in the south of the Yangtze River, and the seven thousand Jiangnan Manchurian Eight Banners were wiped out.

Three news that could be delivered urgently within [-] miles, one was worse than the other.

The Qing court can't tolerate dissatisfaction from top to bottom.

The posthorse, which had been in a hurry for eight hundred miles, rushed to the gate of the city. The knights on the horses were dusty, and the livery on their bodies was covered with dust.

With a plop, the knight knelt down in front of Oboi and Hong Chengchou, and handed over an urgent report of [-] li with both hands.

Aobai took the urgent report, but he didn't tear it open to check, but strode towards the city, and then presented the urgent report to Bumbutai.

Hong Chengchou turned back and walked towards the top of the city, wanting to see what kind of news the eight hundred miles urgently sent.

However, his legs and feet are much slower than Aobai.

Bumbutai put down the beads he was rubbing in his hand, took the urgent report, tore off the wax seal, and read it.

Then, just for a moment, Bumbutai felt blood rushing straight to his forehead...

There was only darkness in front of my eyes, and I almost couldn't stand still, so I sat down on the ground.

Fortunately, Oboi and Lagu Su Ma supported her, one on the left and the other on the right.

Aobai was shocked, how bad the news was!
Can the Empress Dowager almost faint?

He stretched his neck and looked at the emergency report in Bumbutai's hand.

The characters in the emergency report were a little small, and in the blur, Aobai only saw the words "Jingnan King Rebelled" in big red characters.

In an instant, Oboi also felt his eyes go dark, and almost passed out.

His legs and feet were unsteady, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Oboi's fall caused Bumbutai to lose a support on his side, he leaned and fell on Oboi...
