    ?

    Li Tianzhi put forward conditions on behalf of Fatty Lu. Of course, Geng Jingzhong, Prince Geng, who offered to negotiate for peace, could not agree. When the local strength is not too disadvantaged, he surrendered the whole of Zhejiang to the Fatty Army, and he had to run back to the past.  Wanghai Tower of Jingnan Wangfu bowed his head to his begging Fatty Lu, saluted and paid tribute. His self-esteem was very strong, and Prince Geng naturally couldn't swallow this breath.

    There is also a more critical point. As long as the half of Zhejiang that was hard to conquer after spending countless manpower and material resources, Prince Geng would never easily agree to the conditions of the Fatty Army, so after receiving the reply from the Fatty Army, Geng  The first thing the prince did was to overturn the table in front of him, curse the eighteenth generation of Fatty Lu and Li Tianzhi's ancestors, and muster up the courage to go out to the city to fight again, trying to use force to drive away the Fatty's army who entangled like a gangrene.  .

    It's a pity that Prince Geng wants to fight decisively, but Li Tianzhi doesn't want to fight decisively. Needless to say, if he loses the decisive battle, the consequences will only be cheap. Therefore, as soon as Prince Geng's army is dispatched, the Fatty Army will immediately attack  Divided into two groups, the main force retreated across the Dongyang River and stationed on the west bank, while some troops hid in the small town of Lanxi and defended behind closed doors.  No more, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the food and supplies were also consumed. They had no choice but to retreat to Jinhua City. The main force of the fat man calmly crossed the river and continued to bite Prince Geng's tail.

    When things got to this point, Prince Geng had only three options left, one was to agree to the humiliating conditions of the fat man army;  A decisive battle with Zheng Jing who copied Lord Geng's old lair - but this decision is tantamount to fighting on two fronts and dividing up the forces. Not only is it easy to be defeated by each of them, but it is also likely to recruit Shang Zhixin's jackal, and fall into the danger of fighting on the third front.

    The third option was put forward by Prince Geng's confidant Liu Yunxiang behind the backs of Geng's generals, that is, to send envoys to understand Zheng Jing well, to recognize Zheng Jing's gains in the land he captured in Fujian, to cease fighting with the existing controlled areas as the boundary, and to join forces.  Aggressive Fat Army.  Liu Yunxiang also believes that in front of the powerful Fatty Army, Geng Jun and Zheng Jun are already in a deadlocked relationship. If Geng Jun perishes, Zheng Jun will not have a good life!  In the same way, if Zheng Jun perishes, Geng Jun will not want to be alone in front of the fat army. Instead of choosing to surrender to the fat army and kill each other with Zheng Jun, it is better to join forces with Zheng Jing to kill the fat army and first consolidate the living space.  The acquired interests of Zhejiang, free up their hands to retake the land in Fujian that was taken away by Zheng Jing!

    I have to admit that although Liu Yunxiang's proposal is crazy, it is absolutely correct in terms of strategy. No matter who fights alone, Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing cannot be the opponent of the fat army. The only way is to give up conflicts and disputes and work together.  Only Zheng Jing can achieve a win-win situation.  And our Prince Geng has been confused for most of his life, and at this critical moment of life and death, he finally came to his senses. After thinking twice, he resolutely made a wise choice and sent the eloquent Jiang Yuanxun back to Fujian day and night to visit Zheng Jing in Quanzhou.  Ask for a truce and borrow troops to resist the fat man's southern crimes.

    ?Because Wenzhou was still under the control of the Geng army, Jiang Yuanxun immediately boarded a sea ship and headed south after arriving in Wenzhou, and it didn't take long to arrive in Quanzhou.  At the same time, Taiwan's Zheng army, freed from the burden of Hangzhou, has captured the eight counties of Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xinghua, Shaowu, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Longyan, and Tingzhou under the strong containment of the fat man's army, and its strength has greatly increased.  , and has basically established a firm foothold on the mainland, and has surrounded Yanping Prefecture, the largest grain-producing area of ??Geng Jingzhong's army.  He sent letters asking for help to Geng Jingzhong three times in a row, and the situation was in dire straits.

    The situation was so critical that Jiang Yuanxun didn't dare to delay. As soon as the ship landed on the Quanzhou Wharf, he immediately identified himself to the Zheng Jun team on the wharf, presented a gift and asked Zheng Jing to receive him immediately.  What Jiang Yuanxun never imagined in his wildest dreams was that his normal request was rudely rejected by Zheng Jing, and he replied ordering Jiang Yuanxun to leave immediately, let Geng Jingzhong wash his neck and wait to die.  Jiang Yuanxun secretly scolded Zheng Jing for his short-sightedness, but still refused to give up. He stood in front of Zheng Jing's Xingyuan gate and begged repeatedly. He also asked Zheng Jing's soldiers to report again, only to see Zheng Jing.

    Fortunately, Jiang Yuanxun's luck is not bad. Chen Junyin, the official of Zheng Jun, happened to come to Zheng Jing Xingyuan to see him on business, and happened to bump into Jiang Yuanxun. After hearing Jiang Yuanxun's intention of coming, Chen Junyin, who had a very strategic vision, immediately realized the opportunity  Coming, let Jiang Yuanxun wait for a while, and go in to persuade Zheng Jing to meet Jiang Yuanxun.  After Chen Junyin's earnest persuasion, Zheng Jing finally agreed to meet Jiang Yuanxun.

    ?Meeting does not necessarily mean that Jiang Yuanxun's trip will be successful. After Jiang Yuanxun explained his intentions in front of Zheng Jing and the civil and military personnel of the Yanping Palace, Zheng Jing and most of them"My lord!  "

    After Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang happily returned to Jinhua City to report the good news to Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong was amazed at the benevolence and righteousness of the fat army, and signed the form of surrender without hesitation.  On the second day, he personally went to the Fatty Army camp, bowed and knelt down to receive the seal of King Jinghai that Fatty Lu had prepared for him a long time ago, becoming the first feudal prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and negotiated with Li Tianzhi face to face  Handed over all the details of the whole territory of Zhejiang, and gave up Jinhua City on the first day of February, led the army back to Wenzhou, and ordered Chuzhou, Taizhou, and Quzhou to hand over the defense to the Fatty Army, withdraw to Wenzhou to gather, and prepare to start recovery  The war in the whole territory of Fujian - recovering for the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

    It was also on the way to withdraw the troops that Prince Geng realized that the taste was wrong. In order to capture Zhejiang, he paid more than three or four times the military ration of 150,000 shi and 800,000 taels of silver?  Fatty Lu only took out one-third or even one-fourth of the capital¡ªor paid in installments, and took away all the profits. Why should I be grateful to him?

    "Bah! Profiteer!" Prince Geng spat heavily, and cursed again, "Great profiteer!"

    Note: Zheng Jingshu's short-sighted refusal of Geng Jingzhong's peace is not a fiction. It is true in history. In history, Geng and Zheng formed an alliance. Zheng Jing took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of Geng's army to go north to Zhejiang, and indeed captured Geng Jingzhong's hometown in Fujian Province except Fuzhou, Jianning and Hebei Province.  All state capitals outside Yanping.  Even so, in order to unite against the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong sent envoys to condemn Zheng Jing's betrayal of the alliance, but did not call back the main force of the anti-Qing Dynasty to counterattack Zheng Jing, showing a rare strategic vision and a relatively broad mind.

    Later, Jie Shu led the Qing army into Fujian and surrounded Fuzhou and the two cities of Yanping. Geng Jingzhong sent Wang Jingong, an effective general, to Quanzhou to seek help from Zheng Jing.  He was granted the title of Kuang Mingbo, the admiral of Taiwan.  Geng Jingzhong was forced to surrender to Jieshu, and then immediately led the remaining main force of Geng's army to launch a counterattack against Zheng Jing. It took only ten months to recover the entire territory of Fujian and drive Zheng Jing back to Taiwan¡ªbut it was a pity  , Geng Jingzhong recovered for Kang Mazi, five years later, Geng Jingzhong was tricked by Kang Mazi back to Beijing, Ling Chi executed.

    All of the above are historical facts, which are recorded in "Min Nan Ji", "Ping Ding San Ni Fanglue", "Mite Qing Mazu Records", "Taiwan Foreign Records", "Yunnan Beizheng Zhi", "Five Fans Ji Cheng", "Taiwan  If you are interested, you can refer to historical materials such as Provincial General Annals, Jianhuolu, Jiashen Chaoshi Xiaoji, Haishang Wenlu and Qing History Rebellious Officials.  (To be continued.
