Chapter 116 Kangxi’s anger (please subscribe!)

After receiving the exact news of Zheng Kezang's attack on Xiamen, Wan Zhengse's troops, who were still camping in the wild, quickly got into gear and rushed all the way to Quanzhou.

Encouraged by Wan Zhengse, the 30,000 green battalion troops marched at an extremely fast pace, arriving at the foot of Quanzhou City in less than five days.

Knowing that there were no enemies here, Wan Zhengse took the lead, high-spirited, wearing cotton armor and holding a sword in his hand, looking like a successful middle-aged Qing general.

But soon, he reined in the horse because he saw a corpse hanging on the tower.

The body was almost rotting. Wan Zhengse rode a horse. When he got closer, he saw that it was Sun Chaorang, the prefect of Quanzhou who had hanged himself before.

Wan Zhengse felt a chill in his heart. He was glad that he had made the right decision and stayed away from Ming and Zheng's troops. Otherwise, the outcome would not have been good.

Wan Zhengse also had a certain friendship with Sun Chaorang. When an old acquaintance passed away, he was a little sad: "Guangfu, as soon as you are old, you will go. You are on the other side, but you have to protect my safety, little brother."

As soon as Zheng Kezang left, Quanzhou was in a state of ungovernance. There was chaos everywhere, and gangsters took advantage of the chaos to run out and commit petty thefts.

The arrival of 30,000 Green Camp troops suddenly restored calm to Quanzhou City.

Wan Zhengse successfully "recovered" Quanzhou. Of course, it was a peaceful "recovery" without any exchange of fire. Except for the Green Camp killing a few hooligans, Quanzhou was captured without any injuries. It can be regarded as an epic "great victory"!

But the problem now is, if Quanzhou Prefecture is captured and Xiamen Island is lost, what should we do?

Wan Zhengse had a bad relationship with Yao Qisheng, Shi Lang and others, so of course he wrote a memorial to complain.

Another time, Emperor Tongzhi took advantage of Cixi's illness and rushed to eight hundred miles to send an order to execute the eunuch Ande Hai who violated the rules and left the capital.

Since he came to the throne, he has faced countless enemies, but in the end, he still won.

Since each station is about twenty miles apart, each horse can run at full strength without worrying about physical strength.

"Now, the defeated remnants of the Fujian Navy have retreated to the Quanzhou Port area, and are still being pursued by the puppet Ming pirates. The entire army has been wiped out, and even Quanzhou City and Xiamen have fallen. Is it possible that Shi Lang took so much from the national treasury?"

Yinzi, do you just give me this answer?"

Soon, the memorial was rushing from the direction of Fujian to the capital at an accelerated speed of 600 miles.

No matter what, the memorial has been written.

As the name suggests, the six-hundred-mile express requires that the memorial must travel six hundred miles every day during the delivery process.

"Your Majesty, after this defeat, the guilty general Shi Lang must be severely punished. Today, the Fujian Navy exists in name only, and the southeastern coast will be invaded by the Puppet Ming pirates. The Han people must be made to implement the inward relocation policy more strictly, otherwise it will be great.

We can only get advantage of those pirates in vain."

How could Kangxi not feel distressed!

The minister of political affairs, Suo'etu, could not bear it for a long time. When he was preparing for the Fujian Navy, he repeatedly stopped it.

In order to prevent the memorial from being intercepted by Yao Qisheng and others, Wan Zhengse sent several routes at the same time to ensure that it would reach Kangxi's hands unharmed.

Suo'etu suggested to the angry Kangxi.

Of course, Yao Qisheng was not a free man. After learning that Wan Zhengse had betrayed him, he rushed six hundred miles away and wrote a memorial. This memorial clearly explained why Shi Lang was defeated so miserably, and at the same time, he shied away the responsibility in a small way.

, Shi Lang has to bear all this responsibility!

Moreover, he had been driven out to sea before, and now he is back. It is really haunting.

Therefore, it is unscientific to use 800 miles to rush every day in TV dramas.

Bang.

On September 25, the 20th year of Kangxi's reign, a dark cloud shrouded the capital, just like Kangxi's face in the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi punched the dragon chair hard and threw the memorial down the steps.

The messenger galloped wildly with the memorial on his back, changing horses for relay at each post station.

Nowadays, the huge navy built with tens of millions of taels of silver was completely wiped out at his doorstep. It was simply unbelievable. He even thought that Shi Lang was a traitor!

It turned out to be fine, but why not change him to be the admiral?

I can only say that I'm sorry. He, Wan Zhengse, is from Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, and is from the same hometown as Li Guangdi. He also respects Mr. Li Guangdi, but compared with his own future, it is worthless.

He remembered that he believed so much in Li Guangdi's recommendation, so much in Shi Lang, and gave Shang Fang the sword, but now the result was not only unacceptable to him, but also to the entire Qing Dynasty.

But this time it was different. Yizhou Island was originally a barren place, so how could it compare to the vast territory and rich products of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the lives of Lord Li Guangdi’s entire family?

As for the 800-mile express service, it is even rarer.

Strange to say, during the Kangxi period, there were many famous generals and ministers born in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. It was truly a geomantic treasure.

"There are hundreds of large and small warships, and countless silver is wasted. Even a small place like Yizhou Island cannot be defeated, and it is kicked in the nose. I really misjudged the person." Kangxi said angrily.

Moreover, if the Fujian Navy wants to recover from losses of this scale, it will probably take several years.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was extremely angry.

Theoretically, it is a big deal to be able to get the "Six Hundred Miles Expedited" memorial, and the speed of the Six Hundred Miles Expedited is already the peak of the feudal era.

If he hadn't written it, he would have been responsible for the loss of Xiamen. Now he writes a memorial to Kangxi to complain, and he can also contribute to the recovery of Quanzhou.

"Come here and deliver the imperial edict that the guilty general Shi Lang be escorted to Beijing on a certain day. No one is allowed to intercede!"

It was in the face of such a defeated Ming Zheng that the Fujian Navy suffered such a huge defeat.

Wan Zhengse's resentment at being kicked away is still there.

After reading the memorials of Wan Zhengse and Yao Qisheng, his face fell.

The current annual tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty is only 30 to 40 million taels of silver. How much will it cost to rebuild a Fujian Navy?

The six-hundred-mile expedited journey was indeed extraordinary. It took only seven days for Wan Zhengse's memorial to arrive in the capital.

"The situation was very good before, so I shouldn't have changed the water division admiral!" Kangxi glanced at the civil and military ministers in the Qianqing Palace, shook his head and said.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the 800-mile emergency was used only twice: once when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was annihilated, and when the Hunan Army captured Jinling, the "capital" of the Taiping Army, Yang Yuebin and Zeng Guoquan used it to report their victory.

Suo'etu felt that Shi Lang was a villain who jumped around repeatedly, even more so than Wu Sangui. He had long been unhappy with him being made the admiral of the Fujian Navy before!

Li Guangdi, who was close to him, supported him so much that he reluctantly agreed to it.

What a pity, Li Guangdi, Suo'etu thought regretfully.

Now everyone in the court is very understanding, and no one mentioned the matter of Li Guangdi's entire family. Li Guangdi's face turned pale and he remained silent today in the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi probably didn't want to deal with Li Guangdi, so he didn't mention his name.

There was a lot of discussion in the court. Nalan Mingzhu had always been at odds with Suo'etu, so he decided to speak up for Shi Lang!
