The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Hong Chengchou climbed to the top of the city out of breath, and this was what he saw.

Ao Bai sat down on the ground with a dull expression on his face.

Bumbutai fell on Oboi, and Lagu Su Ma was also brought down on the other side.

The scene was once extremely chaotic!
The maids and eunuchs on the side were stunned for a moment, and finally came to their senses.

They scrambled forward to help Bumbutai up!
Only then did Bumbutai calm down a little.

However, her slightly trembling palms, like chicken feet, showed that she was not in a calm mood right now.

However, this is normal!
Geng Jingzhong rebelled, and most of Fujian changed its banner in an instant. Local officials who were loyal to the Qing were either killed or fled from their jurisdiction.

In less than a month, Geng Jingzhong kept a certain amount of restraint in the south, and specially vacated a certain area bordering the Ming court in Guangdong without touching it.

The whole of Fujian fell into the hands of Geng Jingzhong!

And, more importantly, Geng Jingzhong did not stop after taking Fujian.

Instead, he chose to divide his troops into three groups and advance to the south of the Yangtze River.

All the way to attack Wenzhou, all the way to attack Jinhua, all the way to attack Quzhou!
Since the main force of the Qing court in Jiangnan was eaten by Zhu Hongyu, Geng Jingzhong's Jiangnan strategy proceeded quite quickly.

Almost unstoppable!

Wherever they passed, the prefectures and counties surrendered, and the local gentry opened their doors to welcome the surrender, eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher.

A large number of green camp soldiers of the Qing army surrendered without a fight!

There are two reasons for this.

One is because the green battalion soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River generally dare not confront the "Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers".

As soon as the Jingnan Army wearing Eight Banners cotton armor appeared on the battlefield, they rode and shot a round, and the cavalry and infantry cooperated with a charge, and the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side would surrender in large numbers.

The second is because the elite of the Jiangnan Green Camp will either be wiped out by Zhu Hongyu on Zhoushan Island and Qixia Mountain.

Or it was a sudden change and became a member of the Guiyi Army.

The rest are basically crooked melons and dates!
It is only conceivable what the outcome of these crooked melons and jujubes will be against Geng Jingzhong's battle-tested and well-equipped Jingnan Army.

Looking at the series of reports of lost cities and lands in the emergency newspaper, Bumbutai felt cold in his heart.

Hong Chengchou also saw the urgent report from Babaili, and the expression on his face kept changing.

Zhu Hongyu started from overseas, sits in Guangdong, and threatens the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangxi at any time.

Once Zhu Hongyu mobilizes troops against the three provinces, the three provinces will hardly be able to support them based on the elite of the Ming army.

Moreover, Geng Jingzhong joined forces with Fujian and marched into the south of the Yangtze River, and may even attack Jiangxi with Zhu Hongyu at any time.

In addition, Wu Sangui lives in Yunnan, and his influence goes deep into the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and his position is vacillating.

Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, plus Hunan and Jiangxi, plus the three southwestern provinces that swing neutral.

The south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty seems to have disappeared...

……

Hong Chengchou had originally planned to lead his troops south after the Zhengyangmen parade was over.

But the sudden [-]-mile rush interrupted Hong Chengchou's plan.

In fact, it not only interrupted Hong Chengchou's plan, but the entire Qing court was disrupted by this sudden wave of blows.

The original counter-insurgency plan was completely messed up!
Because of Geng Jingzhong's rise of troops, the strength of the Qing army in the entire south became scarce in an instant, so that there were loopholes everywhere.

If Hong Chengchou led his troops southward in such a reckless manner, the Qing court probably suffered another big defeat!

And this is obviously unacceptable to the Qing court!
They need to renegotiate the counter-insurgency plan!

The officials of the Qing court gathered in the South Study Room again, and Bumbutai sat on the main seat with the young Kangxi in his arms.

All the servants and courtiers below knelt down to salute.

"Slave ministers and others, kowtow to the emperor, kowtow to the empress dowager!"

"The emperor is blessed with peace and prosperity, and the empress dowager is blessed with prosperity!"

"..."

The young Kangxi stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs rolling around, looking at so many people kneeling in front of him.

Learning from his father's previous appearance, he spoke in a clear and clear voice.

"I'm safe, all the gentlemen's families are safe!"

Bumbutai also nodded slightly.

Aobai, Hong Chengchou and others climbed up from the ground, the small South Study Room was full of people, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Bumbutai said.

"Nowadays, the southern kingdom is changing, and Geng Ni disregards the kindness and righteousness of my Qing Dynasty, and shamelessly betrays me!"

"How to get rid of the thieves and rebels is the top priority of my Qing Dynasty, and I invite all the gentlemen to speak freely!"

Bumbutai's face was faintly pale, lacking in blood.

Obviously, the news of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion hit her hard.

Obai stood up and said.

"The emperor and the empress dowager please order to call up the green camps of the northern provinces, and mobilize the capital and the elite of the Eight Banners outside the pass to go south."

"Destroy the traitors, clarify the universe!"

Aobai's thinking is very simple, the strategy of refueling will not work, if you want to go south to suppress the rebels, it is best to gather troops and push in one wave.

Don't increase your troops repeatedly as a refueling tactic.

Hong Chengchou also spoke.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the southern kingdom is now in chaos and the world is shaking. The imperial court needs a national general with sufficient prestige to lead troops south and take charge of the southern kingdom's battle."

"I would like to resign from the post of governor of the five provinces!"

To quell the rebels in the south, the Qing court could only gather the main force to go south.

As for the important task of leading the main force of the imperial court, it was impossible for the Qing court to use Han people.

Only a man can do this kind of thing!

Therefore, Hong Chengchou was very sensible, and he resigned from the position of governor of the five provinces.

Bumbutai nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

Hong Chengchou resigned himself knowingly, saving her trouble.

Obai stood up and said.

"Empress Dowager, let the slaves go!"

As the former No. [-] Batulu in Manchuria, although he is old now, his ambition is still the same.

Ren still yearns for the battlefield, and misses the bloody fights he experienced on the battlefield.

However, Bumbutai still refused.

"Let Tu Hai or Yue Le lead the army!"

"Oboi, you'd better stay in the capital."

"..."

Again, Obai is one of the four ministers of Gu Ming, and he is also the bodyguard left by Emperor Shunzhi for Kangxi and Bumbutai.

No matter what, Bumbutai would not let Oboi leave Beijing!

She would rather hold Oboi in her hand, watching the war situation in the south turn bad, let Oboi escort herself and Kangxi out of Jingdong hunting, and return to Liaodong when things are not coordinated.

And absolutely unwilling to release Oboi to lead the army!

Besides, the Qing court does not have to rely on Oboi now.

Tu Hai, Yue Le, Fei Yanggu, Li Guoying, Zhao Liangdong...

There are many generals who are capable of leading troops to suppress rebellion!
These people are just old, not dead!
After pondering for a while, Bumbutai asked.

"What do you think, Tu Hai or Yue Le, who is more suitable to lead the army to the south?"

Ye Bilong stood up and said.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the slave thinks that Tu Hai is more suitable!"
