Chapter 243 Geng Jingzhong is really loyal!

Geng Jingzhong, the chief supervisor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, did not stay in his old nest, Fuzhou these days, but stayed in Longxi, the first county of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

The purpose of his trip to Zhangzhou Prefecture was to negotiate with Zheng Jing, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, who was stationed on Xiamen Island, to jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty. This was not easy to deal with!

Fujian is the hometown of the Zheng family, especially the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, which is the foundation of the Zheng family.

If Geng Jingzhong had not ceded these two mansions to Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing would not have talked to him that Zheng Jing had obtained sugar medicine and incendiary bombs. He had defeated the joint navy of the Dutch and Shi Lang before, and also grabbed the four counties and one living room in Quanzhou. His back was so hard!

But will the Zheng family in the Zheng family be more aggressive if Geng Jingzhong gives up these two mansions?

It is very likely! Because taking Zhangzhou, where can the Zheng family in Quanzhou develop next? Zhangzhou and Quanzhou border on land are Chaozhou in Guangdong and several prefectures in Fujian.

Zheng Jing could not go to Guangdong to compete with Prince Zhu San for territory. If he wanted to further develop, he would either go to the north to attack Nanjing like his father, or expand in Fujian!

No matter how Zheng Jing chooses, he will have conflicts with Geng Jingzhong because Geng Jingzhong does not want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. He wants to be the emperor himself!

So the negotiations are a bit deadlocked

Geng Jingzhong's second purpose in coming to Zhangzhou was to coax Fan Chengmo, the governor of Fujian of the Qing Dynasty.

Although Emperor Kangxi appointed Geng Jingzhong as the general manager of Fujian before, it did not mean that the officials sent by the Qing court to Fujian were immediately put on the bed and left. Emperor Kangxi was willing to do this, and the civil servants and generals below were not that easy to talk to! Some of them were warlords, and some were officials who bought money, so where could they leave? Moreover, the Zhu family court in Guangdong is very prosperous now, so don’t mess with others, just cut off their braids and rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, Geng Jingzhong could not produce so many officials to take over the local government in Fujian. He had never held the imperial examination, nor could he recruit surrender and rebel in the process of destroying the Southern Ming regime like Wu Sangui, and hired a group of officials from the Southern Ming to use for his own use.

Therefore, after Geng Jingzhong obtained the position of Fujian General Manager, he immediately told Emperor Kangxi that he would not appoint a large number of "Gengxuan civil officials" and would not ask for the removal of Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng.

This Liu Bingzheng was the brother of Guangdong Governor Liu Bingquan. He was also a second-generation slave. He was a slave of the Han army in Zhenghongqi. He was deeply trusted by the Qing court. However, this guy had a very good relationship with Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong and his son. He probably believed that he believed the nonsense of "the clone of the emperor". He had been transferred to the governor of Fujian in the fifth year of Kangxi, and he stayed at the request of Geng's father and son. It has been almost the twelve years of Kangxi and has not moved. The governor of Fujian is almost learning "Hu Jian's words".

However, Geng Jingzhong, the military power of Fujian, still had to be firmly grasped! Therefore, the court had to recall Fujian Governor Fan Chengmo and the embarrassing imperial envoy Mi Sihan.

Of course, Kangxi agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request and he would not agree. Geng Jingzhong would quit! And he couldn't continue. There were not many soldiers in Fujian Province, but there was a vassal king, a governor, and an imperial envoy to supervise military affairs minister. The three of them could theoretically control all the Qing army in Fujian. There were a bunch of admirals below, and the general was almost fainted. Who should he listen to?

Therefore, Emperor Kangxi had to transfer two of the three "Commander-in-Chief of Fujian" to unify Fujian's military orders, so Mishan and Fan Chengmo had to put them in bed.

The imperial envoy Mi Sihan was originally a "temporary official". He failed his job again, so of course he had to take the blame. He would not kill the head, and the slave was still a good slave. So he was dismissed from his post. He went home to eat Lao Mi for a while and looked for an opportunity before using it!

As for Fan Chengmo's level, it's not that easy.

He was not at fault, and he was a second-generation senior slave in the Qing Dynasty, so he was loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

He is Fan Wencheng, a model slave of the Qing Dynasty. His stepmother also served Duoduo, the prince of Heshuo Yutong, and is still alive. He is the ancestor of the Fan family. His status is similar to that of Jia Mu in "Dream of Red Mansions". During festivals, he would also tell his children and grandchildren about the glorious deeds of serving Duoduo back then!

Moreover, Fan Chengmo was also very hard-working in office. When he was a governor in Zhejiang, he was particularly capable of investigating various rebels. After careful investigation, he found a trace of a third prince Zhu. He found that a teacher named Wang Shiyuan lived in Siming Mountain and was very suspicious!

At that time, Fan Chengmo was ready to arrest him, but as a result, a "True Third Prince Zhu" who had been certified by many parties appeared in Guangdong, which also involved the descendants of Kong Ming.

So Fan Chengmo, based on the principle of not letting go of a "real Zhu San" and not unjustly accuse a "fake Zhu San", decisively gave up the arrest and went to Lanxi County, Jinhua Prefecture to capture Zhuge Liang's descendants. This time, he caught a lot of them, but they were all Zhuge's descendants who were doctors in the martial arts world, and he did not find Kong Ming's secret book.

Of course Fan Chengmo was not satisfied with this result. Just when he was about to deal with it strictly, Emperor Kangxi transferred him to Fujian as the governor.

While serving as the governor of Fujian, Fan Chengmo found that Geng Jingzhong seemed to have some intention to rebel. The evidence was a "anti-song" that was widely circulated in Fuzhou, Funing, Xinghua and other places. What is the lyrics of the lyrics: "Seven Stars worship the real emperor again, the fire rose from the ears, killing all the cows in the mountains to bleed, and the army was suspended on a white horse."

In addition, Fan Chengmo also learned about the prophecy of "the emperor's clone of fire ears".

However, with just a song of "anti-song" and a sentence of "prophecy", Fan Chengmo could not defeat Geng Jingzhong, a great slave.

Moreover, Fan Chengmo was not sure that the "anti-song" and "prophecy" were created by Geng Jingzhong himself, or the third prince of Zhu in Guangdong or the pirate Zheng in Taiwan, and the others who made up Geng Jingzhong unjustly accused Geng Jingzhong after all, the rebellion in the Han area has generally been under the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty since the Qing Dynasty established the Central Plains.

It seems unlikely that Geng Jingzhong will not use this banner but will become the "real emperor" himself.

Just as he was planning to investigate further, Geng Jingzhong successfully deceived the little saint Kangxi!

However, Emperor Kangxi did not transfer Fan Chengmo away with an imperial edict, but sent it to Fan Chengmo to the court and asked where he wanted to become an official?

Fan Chengmo took this opportunity to release news, saying that he was going to Fuzhou to be the governor of Fujian, which made Geng Jingzhong very anxious.

If Fan Chengmo arrived in Fuzhou, wouldn’t his “crimes” be exposed?

So Geng Jingzhong quickly came to Zhangzhou Prefecture with Liu Bingzheng and Zuo Chunqiu, thinking about how to coax Fan Chengmo away.

But then Fan Chengmo is not so easy to coax? He is also a tough character who is not good at ease!

Just when Geng Jingzhong, Liu Bingzheng, Zuo Chunqiu and the others were too big, Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng led Wu Sangui's envoy, Yang Qilong, who was already famous in the world because of Emperor Kangxi's Ming Dynasty, to Zhangzhou together!

"Get it down!"

Outside the city of Zhangzhou, in the Gengwang Village, Yuanshan at the foot of Yuanshan, Geng Jingzhong suddenly attacked and ordered his own Goshhana people!

He was so angry that Yang Qilong was not doing well yet, and Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng were already shocked.

Liu Jinzhong shouted: "I'm wronged! I'm wronged, Liu Jinzhong, but I haven't betrayed the prince and surrendered to President Wu!"

Wu Qifeng also shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, Wu did not betray the prince Hui and wanted to make a family with Wu, and asked Wu to send his daughter to Prince Zhu as his wife. Wu hasn't even agreed yet! You can't believe the rumors!"
