? Before attacking Anqing Mansion, the capital of Anhui Province, the Fat Man Army regained another important town, Wenzhou Mansion in the southeastern tip of Zhejiang Province, but it was not restored by force, but peacefully liberated through negotiations.
Presumably friends still remember that in order to appease Geng Jingzhong and Geng Geng, and drive Geng Geng back to Fujian to fight a civil war with Zheng Jing, when Fatty Army was negotiating with Geng Geng, he offered to lend Wenzhou to Geng Geng as a way to recover Fujian. The logistics base will be returned to the Fatty Army after Prince Geng takes back half of the land in Fujian. Although Prince Geng's main force can't even defeat Li Tianzhi's army, the weakest of the four major armies of the Fat Man Army, the main force who bullied Prince Zheng on land is handy. It took only half a year after returning to Fujian to torture Zheng Jing so much that he couldn't find the north. , took back the two important towns of Shaowu and Yanping very easily, and also restored part of the county town of Tingzhou.
No one can stop people's luck, but at this moment, Prince Geng's uncle, Geng Jimei, led some troops into the Xinghua Mansion. He originally wanted to contain the main force of Zheng's army, but he never wanted to catch up with the civil strife of Zheng's army. Suspicious of his deputy, Zhao Desheng, the first batch of Haicheng generals who raised troops against the Qing in Fujian, suspected that Zhao Desheng had secretly taken refuge in Geng Jingzhong, Zhao Desheng swore to God, He You refused to believe anything, Zhao Desheng was extremely sad and indignant His subordinates led a small number of relatives out of the city to meet them. They were outnumbered and surrounded by Geng's army. He You suspected that Zhao Desheng deliberately lured his main force out of the city and stepped into a trap. Geng Jimei sent troops to attack the city, and the Fujian Jiangjun in Xinghua's Zheng army had mutinied angrily, killed He You's lineage, and opened the city gate to welcome Geng Jimei into the city. (The fact that anti-Qing righteous Zhao Desheng was forced to death by Zheng Jun is not a fiction, but a historical fact.)
The Xinghua Mansion was taken by Lord Geng, and half of Fujian was returned to Lord Geng. Naturally, Fatty Lu and the old running dog Li Tianzhi, who was careful and careful, had to send envoys to contact him, and asked Lord Geng to abide by the peace agreement and return Wenzhou. I am reluctant to give away Wenzhou to others. But after thinking about it again and again, Prince Geng, whose situation had just improved, still didn't have the guts to go to war with the Fatty Army again, so he had to hand over Wenzhou Mansion to the Fatty Army in late August of the first year of Honghua, in exchange for the last batch promised by the Fatty Army. Forage weapons.
It is considered smart for Prince Geng to take the initiative to hand over the Wenzhou Mansion. He knew that at this time, he must not provoke the fat army with strong troops and horses, because once Prince Geng breaks his promise, he will not only be in a miserable situation of being flanked by the fat army and Zheng army, but his ambition The exuberant Shang Zhixin, Lord Shang, will definitely get involved and join hands with his good brother-in-law to carve up Fujian. The smartest and most correct choice for Lord Geng is to obediently abide by his promise and hand over Wenzhou.
Prince Geng was not happy to give a piece of hard-won land to the Fatty Army for no reason. At the same time, because of the news that Fatty Lu had captured Beijing and moved into the Forbidden City to work, Prince Geng was inevitably alert and anxious. Fear, knowing that the seventh-rank Zhima official who went to Wanghai Tower to beg for himself back then may have the ambition to become emperor, and he may attack him sooner or later. It may be that they went directly to Fujian.
People are falling everywhere in the world, and Prince Geng soon found a poor man with the same disease as him¡ª¡ªLiu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou, hated Zheng Jing for destroying the anti-Qing alliance. He voluntarily accepted the command of Fatty Army, and dedicated Chaozhou, which belonged to Prince Shang, to Fatty Lu. However, the poor Prince Shang Zhixin didn't even have the guts to take back Chaozhou Prefecture by force. problem of attribution. After confirming the news, Lord Geng thought again and again, and finally couldn't help but send an envoy to Lord Shang, using the pretext of visiting his sister who was married to Lord Shang Zhixin, and took the opportunity to test Lord Shang's attitude towards Fatty Lu.
Prince Geng is quite knowledgeable. The envoy he sent to test Prince Shang was Jiang Yuanxun, a military counselor in his team who had more strategic vision and strategic mind. Jiang Yuanxun did not disappoint Prince Geng. After meeting Prince Shang, he took Taking advantage of the chance that Lord Shang was half-drunk, he opened his mouth to congratulate Lord Shang. Lord Shang asked where the joy came from, but Jiang Yuanxun took the opportunity to ask back: "My lord, your brother-in-law, Lord Lu, has already taken Beijing and most of the north. Moved Yue Wang Xingyuan directly into the Forbidden City, the tyranny of the king has already taken shape, the prince and Lu prince are brothers, the tide rises, the power is only in the morning and evening, shouldn't the officials congratulate the prince?"
"Power overwhelms the world? A rising tide lifts all boats? Go ahead and dream!" Lord Shang didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretended to be drunk, so he slapped the table and began to curse, "It would be great if that bastard surnamed Lu was so nice to me! The entire Fujian Province has robbed Lao Tzu of Chaozhou Mansion. When he really led his troops southward and entered Guangdong, he would have to swallow the king even the belt and bones? That bastard, the heart of the bastard is worse than a full dog !"??Tongcheng County.
Immediately afterwards, Fatty's soldiers approached the city of Anqing, and first sent envoys into the city to surrender. Anhui Governor Jin Fu, who had been trapped in the isolated city for a year, was a little moved. Xi Tai refused to live and die, and even brazenly killed the Fatty Army envoy. Li Maozhu and Li Jiyang were furious when they heard the news, and immediately sent troops to attack the city, attacking Anqing's dry gate and water gate from both land and water. As soon as the battle started, soldiers fled, and the situation became more and more serious. Later, even the city gate officials opened the city gate and surrendered to the fat army. Worried that the Fatty Army envoy would be beheaded and would not accept the surrender, he set fire to himself in the room. Fortunately, the Fatty Army warriors rushed into the fire and rescued Jin Fu, who saved Fatty Lu's river-controlling soldier. Then Li Maozhu and Li Jiyang announced that they would not kill An Qing One person, if the crime of beheading the defenders is not investigated, Anqing will immediately stabilize.
The power of hypocrisy is always greater than violence. The news that the Fatty Army forgave Anqing's Qing army's crimes spread, and the remaining Qianshan, Taihu, and Wangjiang counties in Anqing immediately surrendered to the Fatty Army. . There is also Lu'an Prefecture, which is not within the target of the Fatty Army. Li Chengpei, the governor of the prefecture, also took the initiative to send a surrender form, begging the Fatty Army to send troops to station immediately, so as to prevent Lu'an from being ravaged by Ma Bao's army.
What made General Ma even more angry was that he was still behind. His goal was to attack the prefecture of Yingzhou to test the limit of the fat army's tolerance for his expansion. Unexpectedly, Lu Youshan, the prefect of Yingzhou, led the army and people in the city to fight against General Ma Baojun. The third team fought until the corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers, and they vowed not to surrender. They sent envoys one after another to contact the Fatty Army in Fengyang Mansion, requesting that the Fatty Army enter Yingzhou to protect the country and the people. Yao Yi, the new Admiral of Fatty Army in Anhui, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't bear to let down the sincerity of Lu Youshan and the soldiers and civilians in Yingzhou, and personally led the army to rescue Yingzhou.
The two friendly armies met under the city of Yingzhou for the sake of territory. Of course, there was a heated argument. Wang San thought that he came first, and Yingzhou should belong to him. Wang San withdrew from Yingzhou, of course Wang San refused, and Yao Yi also refused to give in. Under mutual refusing to give in, the first battle between Fatty Army and Wu Jun soon started under the city of Yingzhou, and the battle between Fatty Army and Wu Jun The inevitable civil war between the two countries finally fired the first shot.
Note: Shang Zhixin's wax pill secret letter and the false surrender to the Wu army are not fictional, and are recorded on the first page of the second volume of "Shang's Genealogy". Regarding Shang Zhixin's feigned surrender of the Wu army to save Guangzhou for Kang Mazi, although the Qing court categorically denied it in historical materials, "Shang's Genealogy" recorded the matter and the full text of the secret book in the 41st year of Kang Mazi, and it was written by Shang Zhixin. His younger brother Shang Zhilong, who led the bodyguards of the younger brother, recorded it in his own handwriting. Under the high-pressure environment of the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty, Shang Zhilong dared to record it in the family tree. It is conceivable whether Shang Zhixin's wax ball secret book really exists. (To be continued.
